Candice Breitz in the Whole Room October 27, 2007

Breitz’s thirty channel video installation LEGEND has its United States premier at MCA DENVER. LEGEND exposes the duality of Bob Marley’s image as an international icon and as an advocate for social justice. Breitz worked with thirty Jamaicans based on their connection to Marley to perform their version of the Legend album a cappella in its entirety. A cacophony comes together, in the artist’s words, “(to) return the album to Jamaica.” The installation was first exhibited at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica, further demonstrating the commitment to the empowerment of the Jamaican culture.
