Published on the occasion of the exhibition Isaac Julien: I dream a world Looking for Langston, at Victoria Miro (18 May 29 - July 2017) this lavishly illustrated publication includes texts by Isaac Julien and Pulitzer Prize winning critic Hilton Als, alongside rare archival material including storyboards by artist John Hewitt, colour polaroids taken during the making of the film and additional material relating to its original presentation and critical reception. This limited edition artist s book, designed by Olu Odukoya, focuses on Isaac Julien’s seminal work Looking for Langston (1989/2017), a lyrical exploration and recreation of the private world of poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist Langston Hughes (1902-1967) and his fellow black artists and writers who formed the Harlem Renaissance during the 1920s. Directed by Julien while he was a member of Sankofa Film and Video Collective, and assisted by the film critic and curator Mark Nash, who worked on the original archival and film research, the 1989 film is a landmark in the exploration of artistic expression, the nature of desire and the reciprocity of the gaze, and would become the hallmark of what B. Ruby Rich named New Queer Cinema.
