Mark Bradford, DMA interim director Olivier Meslay and DMA curator Jeffrey Grove (l to r) in front of Detail (part of the work, Mithra) The exhibition of Mark Bradford's works at the Dallas Museum of Art is the first major survey of the artist who won a MacArthur 'genius grant.' KERA's Jerome Weeks reports that Bradford's artworks are both simple and highly detailed. They're collections of scraps -- with a lot to say. Highly recommended, way-cool website on Mark Bradford, the exhibition & his studio FrontRow interview with Mark Bradford Art21 feature on PBS KERA radio feature: Expanded online story: You can't help but notice that many of Mark Bradford's artworks are big. The size of walls. Bradford: "That seems to be my standard size. It's a little bit bigger than life size, 'cuz I'm large." Bradford's 6 feet 8 but built like a beanpole. What he calls the 'wingspan' of his works makes you stand back to see them. And when you do, you'll notice many look like paintings.
