The exhibition More Than That: Films by Kevin Jerome Everson opens today at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and will be on view through September 18. Artforum is rerunning Ed Halter's piece on Everson from its May 2010 issue for the occasion: "For more than a decade, working in numerous film and video formats, Everson has presented images of the lives of African Americans — and other people of African heritage, worldwide — through his own distinctive practice of cinematic portraiture, a blend of fiction and documentary that analyzes minute aspects of individual personality by homing in on everyday gestures of labor and leisure. Whether shot from real life, rediscovered in archival images, or performed according to Everson's direction, these gestures subsist as parallels and cognates for artmaking. His films suggest not records of reality but, rather, recordings of performance."
