The Fragmentation Museum presents a short video documentation of Melvin Edwards at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2025. This major retrospective celebrates the work of the influential American sculptor whose six decades of practice fuse abstract welded steel, barbed wire, chains, and industrial materials to explore histories of race, labor, resistance, and memory. Edwards’ sculptures act as poetic portals linking past and present, shaped by his travels and collaborations across the United States, the Caribbean and West Africa, and reflect his enduring engagement with material, social justice, and cultural dialogue.
