In light of how we may experience David Hammons’ historic 2002 installation ‘Concerto in Black and Blue’—reprised for the first time at Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles—this conversation invites current reflections and asks: What do we make of the work’s darkness now? The program will be moderated by Darby English, whose book ‘How to See a Work of Art in Total Darkness’ opens precisely with this observation: ‘One cannot, of course, except in the most extraordinary circumstances, such as when darkness itself forms the condition of the work’s visibility.’
