| Summary: | Collaborating with an engineer at the Radio Corporation of America, American artist Tom Lloyd developed a highly experimental and technologically advanced art practice in the 1960s that challenged popular understandings of the work and role of Black artists. In 1968 his pioneering artwork was the focus of the inaugural exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem, Electronic Refractions II. Based on extensive new scholarship and intensive conservation work, this publication accompanies a landmark retrospective exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem exploring 20 years of the artist's career, including his pivotal contributions to the intersection of art and technology, and paying tribute to his activism. This is the first-ever comprehensive catalog on the artist and features an exclusive selection of never-before-seen images that chronicle Lloyd's career, including photographs of the artist collaborating with engineer Alan Sussman, nonextant works and past installations. |
