Not on view

In this work, Haven, known for her engagement with both abstraction and cinema, examines the possibilities within a severely restricted palette and material. By simultaneously evoking Kazimir Malevich’s revolutionary 1915 painting Black Square and quoting the 1985 film This Is Spinal Tap, she mocks the rhetoric around nonrepresentational art and the monochrome. In the film, a band member discovers that their album design was changed to be entirely black and responds positively that at least "there is none more black."
