Performative Screenings #40: Hannah Black, Bodybuilding

Hannah Black reads a couple of recent texts and shows a couple of recent videos and talks about the process of making them and the ideas that went into them. Her work draws on feminist, communist and black radical theory, reorganising pop songs, celebrity culture, relational technologies and aspects of herself into new objects.

Hannah Black is an artist and writer from the UK. She lives in Berlin. Her work in video and installation has been exhibited at a number of galleries including Arcadia Missa and Legion TV (London), Chateau Shatto (LA) and W139 (Amsterdam), and readings/performances have taken place at the New Museum, Interstate Projects and Cage (New York), the Whitechapel, the Showroom and Cafe Oto (London). Her writing has been published in The New Inquiry, Texte zur Kunst and Frieze (DE), among other magazines, and in her book Dark Pool Party (Dominica/Arcadia Missa). She completed her MFA at Goldsmiths in 2013 and was a studio participant on the Whitney ISP in New York from 2013 to 2014.
