Burnaway is excited to announce the continuation of Burnaway Artist Editions, short runs of art objects created by artists from the South and the Caribbean and intended for a broad scope of discerning collectors.
For our third Artist Edition, Atlanta-based artist Antonio Darden collaborated with Burnaway to create Untitled (Studio View), an isometric and introspective flag modeled after his studio. Inspired by LaShun Pace’s song “There’s a Leak in this Old Building”, the depicted studio is ‘leaking’. Objects such as his 1985 Monte Carlo SS, family photo albums, and piles of tires save space for memories. Adornments of graffiti, like ‘sinpapales’ and a drawing by Darden’s son, decorate the standalone building. References to some of Darden’s works further represent his interiority. Darden recalls that the studio is an emotional, psychological space. The flag invites viewers to consider their own living, moving, and breathing archive and methods of processing. Untitled (Studio View) acts as a ritual of both hope and longsuffering, in flight.
