The newly released documentary, The Melt Goes On Forever: The Art & Times of David Hammons, chronicles the singular career of the elusive African-American art star David Hammons from Watts rebellion era 60s Los Angeles to global art world prominence today. Hammons' category-defying practice, rooted in a deep critique of American society and the elite art world, is an invitation to confront the fractures between races as the artist seeks to go beyond the dominant culture and his own to a new one for the 21st century. Made by Judd Tully and Harold Crooks over a period of nine years, the film features eminent artists, curators and critics and is a rich trove of interviews, archival footage, animation, and a nostalgic soundscape brought together by composer Ramachandra Borcar. To learn more about the film and Hammons' influential career, Something Curated spoke with filmmaker Harold Crooks.
