After presentations at Spike Island in Bristol and Nottingham Contemporary, this major survey of British multimedia artist Donald Rodney is coming to Whitechapel Gallery. Rodney, who lived with sickle cell anaemia, used his condition to examine the prejudices surrounding race, Black masculinity, chronic illness and British colonialism. Across his brief career, he worked across drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and digital media, producing a wide breadth of work that cemented his place as a key figure in British art. Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker features the majority of his surviving works from 1982 – 1997, including large-scale oil pastels on X-rays, animatronic sculptures, sketchbooks and rare archive material.
