A film that follows the unbounded life of African-American art star David Hammons and his singular career from Watts rebellion-era 1960s L.A. to global art world prominence today. Hammons’ cross-disciplinary practice—rooted in a deep critique of American society and the art world—seeks to fuse the dominant culture and his own and elevate them into a new one for the 21st century. Comprised of interviews with artists, curators, and critics, archival footage, animation, and an evocative soundscape, this film is a record of the work of an artist who constantly defies the establishment and remains subversive at every turn.
