Reviews"David Hammons's gifts are many and wondrous.... There's a joyous, modest, offhand quality to much of his work. Yet beneath the congenial exterior is a tough and incisive view of the world, for Mr. Hammons is fundamentally a political artist whose works address issues of black history, African culture, racism, drug addiction and poverty with the compassion and something of the complexity demanded by these issues. He is one of the most engaging and interesting artists working today." -Michael Kimmelman, The New York Times

SynopsisRousing the Rubble celebrates two decades of work by artist David Hammons, who has risen to prominence while at the same time consciously ducking the attention of critics, galleries, and museums, preferring to do things in the street. A recipient of both a MacArthur Foundation genius award and a Pric de Rome, Hammons places himself as an artist between Arte povera and Marcel Duchamp. He makes his art from refuse and the detritus of African-American life: chicken wings, Thunderbird and Night Train bottles, clippings from dreadlocks, basketball hoops. Hammons's deeply felt political views on race and cultural stereotypes give his witty and elegant sculptures, installations, and body prints an integrity that promises to keep the focus on his art rather than on his career., celebrates two decades of work by artist David Hammons, who has risen to prominence while at the same time consciously ducking the attention of critics, galleries, and museums, preferring to "do things in the street."
