The Black Glo-Liath and the Dark of the Sun explores the interplay of Darkness and light, Identity, Grief and Defiance. Each piece resonates with a narrative of resilience and transformation, reflecting the experiences of the oppressed. Through deep introspection and material exploration, Moore’s body of work elevates the Black Imagination and the resistance of the unseen.
Allen Moore is a Black Interdisciplinary Visual Artist, Experimental Turntableist, Sound Artist, Educator and Youth Mentor born and raised in the Historic Village of Robbins IL. Moore holds a Bachelors of Arts from Chicago State University, a Masters in Arts from Governors State University and a Masters of Fine Arts from Northern Illinois University in 2016. His recent body work investigates both the audio and visual element of black death and black grief. His conceptual premise is to analyze the signifiers of Blackness through performative Improvisation and experimentation. Moore is driven to nurture and expand the agency of the Black Imagination. Moore has exhibited and performed across the greater midwest, including exhibitions at Tritriangle, Heaven Gallery, Compound Yellow, Experimental Sound Studio, Elastic Arts, Threewalls, The Museum of Contemporary Art, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Roots & Culture Gallery, Lula Cafe, The Star Media Group, Union Street Gallery, The Museum of Science and Industry Chicago, etc.
