“A-Float,” the title of Jordan’s Campbell’s exhibition at Compound Yellow that runs through June 4th, refers to a false cultural stereotype that Black people can’t swim. For Campbell, this exhibition is a metaphor for survival and a debunking of harmful stereotypes that serve to limit the identities of Black Americans. A-Float is a testimonial to his faith and to letting go by channeling the spirit of hope.

Following Alberto Aguilar and Alex Bradley Cohen’s exhibition entitled “This” is “That”__, which is comprised of works of art made during the second month of their three-month residency at Compound Yellow. Whereas “This” brings together works from throughout the collaboration of the artists during their friendship together, “That”__ is a sort of series of new work all made at once.

My name is Oscar. I'm 9 years old and I'm writing my review of Alex Cohen and Alberto Aguilar's art show at Compound Yellow.
