Gary Simmons - Remembering Tomorrow

In this film Gary Simmons speaks about growing up a latch-key child, nurtured by afternoon television cartoon shows, learning early on the degree to which American popular culture and structural racism are inextricably intertwined. In painting, drawing and sculpture over three decades, his work has often stood as an anguished poetic struggle against the contradictions of the culture in which he was raised.
