In this film, artist Trenton Doyle Hancock confronts issues of race and power. By harnessing painting, graphic novels and art history, he builds a world around his avatar Torpedo Boy in an ongoing narrative of superheroes and villains. This video is one of three short documentaries produced on the occasion of Hancock's recent exhibition, Something American, on view at James Cohan from September 17 to October 17, 2020.
