B-side: (Broken) Memory and Remix is a group exhibition that showcases photography, painting, and sculpture to explore remix as a crucial method of creation within the Hip-Hop genre.
Raque Ford’s work combines elements of sculpture, printmaking, and writing to explore themes of identity, race, and gender. Through a combination of personal narratives and cultural references, her work invites viewers to question and reimagine societal constructs. In Nighttime Grudge or How I Wanted to Be a Rockstar, Ford displays acrylic sculptures etched with her poetic fragments. As viewers engage with these intricate compositions, they are drawn into a dialogue between the abstract and the familiar, between Ford's personal narrative and their own subjective responses.
Ford has held solo exhibitions at Greene Naftali, 321 Gallery and Shoot the Lobster, all NY; and, Good Weather Gallery, IL, Capital in San Francisco, CA. Ford’s group exhibitions include Albright Knox Gallery, MoMA PS1, Kai Matsumiya, and SculptureCenter, all in NY; Morán Morán in Mexico City, MX; Roberta Pelan in Toronto, Ont.; and Division Gallery in Montreal, Qc. Ford's work has found a place in prominent museum collections, including the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
