Synopsis
THE MELT GOES ON FOREVER chronicles the singular career of the elusive African-American art star David Hammons from Watts rebellion era ’60s L.A. to global art world prominence today. Hammons’ category-defying practice — rooted in a deep critique of American society and the elite art world — is in the words of one art critic “an invitation to confront the fissures between races.”
