Rashaad Newsome

[US]

Rashaad Newsome is a multidisciplinary American artist whose work blends several practices – collage, sculpture, video, music, computer programming, and performance – to form a new creative field altogether. Newsome work is deeply invested in exploring how images used in media and popular culture communicate distorted notions of power.

Using the equalizing force of sampling, Newsome crafts compositions that walk the tightrope between intersectionality, social practice, and abstraction, and blend formal composition practices with elements of black sub- and pop-culture to create something wholly contemporary and new.

Newsome has exhibited and performed in galleries, museums, institutions, and festivals throughout the world, including The Studio Museum in Harlem (NYC), The National Museum of African American History and Culture (DC), The Whitney Museum (NYC), Brooklyn Museum (NYC), MoMAPS1 (NYC), SFMOMA (CA), New Orleans Museum of Art (LA), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris, France), The Garage Center for Contemporary Culture (Moscow, Russia), and MUSA (Vienna, Austria).
