Bull
Rashid Johnson's *Bull* is a commanding work that grapples with the construction and manipulation of historical narrative, questioning who holds the power to define truth and legacy. Through his chosen medium—framed by the provocative statement, "I think it's interesting, the opportunity to produce a history, whether that history is true or not"—Johnson implicates the artwork itself as both subject and instrument of storytelling. The piece challenges viewers to consider how identity, mythology, and collective memory are shaped, distorted, and perpetuated over time.
