Donald King (Don King) (born August 20, 1931) is an American semi-retired boxing promoter known for his involvement in historic boxing matchups. He has been a controversial figure, partly due to a manslaughter conviction and civil cases against him, as well as allegations of dishonest business practices by numerous boxers.
Words are very important in the work of Felandus Thames. He is interested in the residual memory of objects and images, the symbolism of which evokes nostalgia and storytelling. Objects and words, deconstructed in the artist's work, carry stories. Stories that must be shown and told, so that they take their rightful place in history and in the collective memory of the present moment. The important thing is not to be silent; not to forget.
