A major catalyst of innovation in the field of multimedia art and a central figure in the East Village art scene that thrived during the 1960s, Aldo Tambellini has recently passed away at the age of 90.

Tambellini established a visionary oeuvre as an artist, activist, and curator as well as a dynamic presence in the field of experimental cinema. He has developed a distinctive visual vocabulary of circles and spirals, and relentlessly explored the expressive possibilities of black as a dominant color and embraced it as an artistic, philosophical, social, and political commitment that remained central during his half-century-long career. In his 1967 manifesto Black Is the Awareness of a New Reality, he wrote “I see Black very clearly as the beginning of all things; and in the beginning it was Black before the beginning. There was Black before there was light in the whole universe.”
