An absurdist provocateur and brilliant interventionist, Pope.L is a seditious force in contemporary American art

Pope.L is a consummate thinker and provocateur whose practice across multiple mediums--including painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, theater and video--utilizes abjection, humor, endurance, language and absurdity to confront and undermine rigid systems of belief. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art that will feature a combination of videos, photographs, sculptural elements, ephemera and live actions, member: Pope.L, 1978-2001 presents a detailed study of 13 early works that helped define Pope.L's career. Essays by curators, artists, filmmakers and art historians, plus an interview and artistic interventions by the artist, establish key details for each work and articulate how the artist continues to think about the legacy of these ephemeral projects unfolding in time.

Among the works included are performances rooted in experimental theater, such as Egg Eating Contest (1990), Aunt Jenny Chronicles (1991) and Eracism (2000), as well as street interventions such as Thunderbird Immolation a.k.a. Meditation Square Piece (1978), ATM Piece (1997) and The Great White Way: 22 miles, 9 years, 1 street (2001-09), among others. Together these works highlight the role that performance has played within a seditious, emphatically interdisciplinary career that has established Pope.L as an influential force in contemporary art.

Pope.L (born 1955) is an acclaimed and prolific interdisciplinary artist best known for his provocative performances, such as ATM Piece (1997) and his decades-long Crawl series--most notably Times Square Crawl (1978), Tompkins Square Crawl (1991) and The Great White Way: 22 miles, 9 years, 1 street (2001-09)--in which the artist drags his body across New York City. Pope.L received his MFA from the Mason Gross School of Arts at Rutgers University and has exhibited internationally. He lives and works in Chicago.--Victoria L Valentine "Culture Type"

100% Legit
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Hopefully I can upload the videos I took as I was unboxing, but I gave this product 5 stars because I indeed received real Batana oil. I also received the full jar’s worth of the oil. There were no air pockets at all. The color, consistency, and smell were accurate to the known characteristics of Batana. It is still cold where I am so it was in a solidified state when it arrived, however it was more pliable after some time in my home. It doesn’t take much heat to get it to melt either. I know many people who are looking to purchase on Amazon are trying to sift through the fakers, I want you to rest assured that this brand is legit. I can’t speak to the effectiveness on my hair ‘s condition as of yet but I did want to let it be known that this company is selling the real stuff.

This Batana Oil is the real deal...
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using Batana Oil for years. Lately, it is incredibly difficult to find quality oil. THIS Batana Oil is the real deal. The smoky scent and viscosity are exactly as I would expect from pure Batana Oil. My hair is smooth and shiny after each use. I suggest allowing the product time to sit on the counter(without it's lid), before using. This helps the smoky odor dissipate, as it can be overwhelming if you are not used to it. The size of this Batana Oil is generous and well worth the price. Give it approximately 12 hours to "air out" and apply as directed. I will definitely be sticking to this brand from now on.

Great product
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I haven't used it yet.... but I'm hoping to raise the rating. It has a very strong sent off burnt popcorn which is one of the identifiers for real batana oil. The tamper seal was not secure. It was melted and spilled on me when I opened it. It soaked into the package also Could use better seal. Overall I'm pleased with the product.

Smell & texture seem to be accurate
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my first time using this product for two days now. Smell is strong dark roast or maybe the hard rice smell at the bottom of a pot. The oil is hardened because it’s cold but when I put it in my hands it does melt. I put it on my hair, face and neck and so far so good. I will plan to make an updated review at the end of the product use. Thank you. So far I would recommend, also customer service was great, I asked direct questions and they were direct and helpful. ☺️

Hair Regrowt, It works,
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the truth! I was doing research on what I could use to regrow my hair. I am a black girl, and I have naturally very thick and longer hair, like to my back (though it took me a while to get there) But this past year I let a bunch of different people do my hair and they did not take care of it. My edges were basically gone. I had a bald spot like right by my edges and I had to cut off maybe 3-4 inches of hair. I was so hurt and sad but I remained hopeful and I bought banana oil after I heard Dr. Sebi talking about it (I believe that kind of stuff lol if you don't I understand) But I've been using it for 2 months now and there are baby hairs where the bald spot was and my hair is getting back to its old length. I use it excessively probably... lol I do a like a finger amount once a day or once every other day on the spot that needed the most treatment. I go to sleep in a satin cap, and I literally pray and manifest long healthy hair with this on my scalp. If you are a black girl and you have heat damage or damage from closures. GET THIS and Remember mama, your NATURAL self is always going to be the most beautiful you. Also I like the smell, kinda like roasted coffee beans
