Resting.,., by Rick Griffith was a monumental diptych collage commissioned for Black Cube's one-day exhibition flood. Created from pages of a 1967 Ebony magazine issue featuring Martin Luther King Jr. on vacation, this artwork offered a rare glimpse of Black rest as radical practice. In a culture that often privileges images of Black labor, protest, or struggle, Griffith foregrounded leisure as a form of resistance—one that challenged the relentless demands of productivity and the systemic denial of rest. Displayed poolside, these banners not only engaged with the visual politics of repose but also echoed the fraught history of pools as sites of racial exclusion.
