ELLEN GALLAGHER/ ACCIDENTAL RECORDS

Accidental Records includes new paintings and drawings by Gallagher that continue her exploration of the complex histories of the Bl ack Atlantic and the afterlives of the Middle Passage. Widely associated with a resurgence in this diasporic critical space, Gallagh er has developed her own genre of history painting which makes us question our geographies. The slowly layered surfaces of her work become a kind of reckoning, the way sailors mark their locations at sea, determined to return.
