Modern TV

Mark Bradford’s video “Dancing in the Street, 2019”, shows a performance of the song by Martha and the Vandellas of the same name being projected onto buildings and fences across Los Angeles at night. The song debuted in 1964 and was adopted as a civil rights anthem and call to action during the Watts riots the following year. This work is in the Museum’s permanent collection and is in the Modern’s current exhibition “Mark Bradford: End Papers”.

Every other Saturday at 7 pm, free screenings of videos by leading contemporary artists will be linked or livestreamed here: https://www.themodern.org/modern-tv
