Xxavier Edward Carter's 'Tuez-Les Tous' Installation References Mach Hommy Album

Xxavier Edward Carter's artwork titled 'Tuez-Les Tous' takes its name from an album by Haitian-American rapper Mach Hommy. This piece features three expressive drawings that guide the audience to a performance video. The video captures a ceremonial ritual with Carter and officiants, delving into the subjects of colonization and exploitation in both Africa and the New World. Born in 1986, Carter resides and creates in Dallas, where he earned degrees from Southern Methodist University and ENSA Dijon, graduating in 2019. His exhibition credits include 500X Gallery, Nasher Sculpture Center, and Cydonia Gallery in Dallas in 2020. In 2019, he showcased his work in various exhibitions, including 'Tuez-Les Tous' at ENSA Dijon and the Dallas Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The performance featured a team of collaborators and was photographed by Sandra Châtel.
