“David Hammons was born in 1943 in Springfield, Illinois. A recipient of both a MacArthur Foundation “genius” award and a Prix de Rome, Hammons places himself as an artist between Arte Povera and Marcel Duchamp. He makes his art from refuse and the detritus of African-American life: chicken wings, Thunderbird and Night Train bottles, clippings from dreadlocks, basketball hoops. Hammons’s deeply felt political views on race and cultural stereotypes give his witty and elegant sculptures, installations, and body prints an integrity that promises to keep the focus on his art rather than on his career.”

I like most of the work presented for David Hammons in this blog. His work is pretty good and I can pick up the general underlying message he is trying to present. The only one I didnt like was the wine bottle one because I dont understand what it is supposed to symbolize and it looks incomplete because their were not enough bottles to complete the send circle.
The wine bottle sculpture was actually my favorite of the presented work of David Hammons. I like the use of found materials and how each bottle is a little bit different than the others. Some bottles have caps while others do not, and some bottles have labels where others do not. I also like the use of two different colors of bottles and the shape in which they are presented. The way it was explained in class is that Hammons took something associated with the homeless and turned it into a gallery showpiece, therefore changing its perceived position in society.
“How Ya Like Me Now?” is possibly a satire on the state of whiteness. Perhaps he is saying that attempting to imitate another racial stereotype could lead to demoralizing results. I think he succeeded in combining white and black racial facial structures. .
