W{\"a}hrend die schwarze Performance weitgehend als Erweiterung des Theaters kontextualisiert wurde, haben bildende K{\"u}nstler die Performance seit mehr als f{\"u}nf Jahrzehnten in ihre Arbeit integriert und damit einen Fundus an Performance-Arbeiten geschaffen, der bisher weitgehend unerkannt geblieben ist. Radical Presence bietet einen kritischen Rahmen f{\"u}r die Er{\"o}rterung der Geschichte schwarzer Performance-Traditionen in der bildenden Kunst, beginnend mit den "Happenings" der fr{\"u}hen 1960er Jahre, {\"u}ber die 1980er Jahre bis hin zu den gegenw{\"a}rtigen Praktiken zeitgen{\"o}ssischer K{\"u}nstler. Radical Presence zeigt Video- und Fotodokumentationen von Performances, Performance-Partituren und -Installationen, interaktive Arbeiten f{\"u}r das Publikum sowie Kunstwerke, die als Ergebnis von Performance-Aktionen entstanden sind. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus bietet die Ausstellung eine Reihe von Live-Performances, die w{\"a}hrend der gesamten Laufzeit der Ausstellung zu sehen sind, darunter Auftritte von Terry Adkins, Maren Hassinger, Senga Nengudi, Pope.L und Tameka Norris am Er{\"o}ffnungswochenende der Ausstellung.

Die Ausstellung zeigt Arbeiten von drei Generationen von K{\"u}nstlern, darunter Derrick Adams, Terry Adkins, Papo Colo, Jamal Cyrus, Jean-Ulrick D{\'e}sert, Theaster Gates, Zachary Fabri, Sherman Fleming, Coco Fusco, Girl [Chitra Ganesh + Simone Leigh], David Hammons, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Lyle Ashton Harris, Maren Hassinger, Wayne Hodge, Satch Hoyt, Ulysses S. Jenkins, Shaun El C. Leonardo, Kalup Linzy, Dave McKenzie, Jayson Musson alias Hennessy Youngman, Senga Nengudi, Tameka Norris, Lorraine O{\textquoteright}Grady, Clifford Owens, Benjamin Patterson, Adam Pendleton, Adrian Piper, Pope.L, Rammellzee, Sur Rodney (Sur), Jacolby Satterwhite, Dread Scott, Xaviera Simmons, Danny Tisdale, und Carrie Mae Weems.

Radical Presence: Black Performance in Contemporary Art, the first comprehensive survey of performance art by black visual artists. While black performance has been largely contextualized as an extension of theater, visual artists have integrated performance into their work for over five decades, generating a repository of performance work that has gone largely unrecognized until now. Radical Presence provides a critical framework to discuss the history of black performance traditions within the visual arts beginning with the {\textquotedblleft}happenings{\textquotedblright} of the early 1960s, throughout the 1980s, and into the present practices of contemporary artists. Radical Presence features video and photo documentation of performances, performance scores and installations, audience interactive works, as well as art works created as a result of performance actions. In addition, the exhibition features a live performance series scheduled throughout the run of the exhibition, including performances during the opening weekend of the exhibition by Terry Adkins, Maren Hassinger, Senga Nengudi, Pope.L, and Tameka Norris.

The exhibition features work by three generations of artists including Derrick Adams, Terry Adkins, Papo Colo, Jamal Cyrus, Jean-Ulrick D{\'e}sert, Theaster Gates, Zachary Fabri, Sherman Fleming, Coco Fusco, Girl [Chitra Ganesh + Simone Leigh], David Hammons, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Lyle Ashton Harris, Maren Hassinger, Wayne Hodge, Satch Hoyt, Ulysses S. Jenkins, Shaun El C.
