The Artist's Voice: Fred Wilson in Conversation with Lauren Haynes
This program will be a conversation between Fred Wilson and Lauren Haynes. The program will begin as a discussion about Wilson's installation Local Color, originally created in 1993 for The Studio Museum in Harlem exhibition Artists Respond: The "New World" Question. This program will make connections between this installation and Wilson's Black Now installation which deals with the concept of black as both color and word.
Known for his installation and projects in museums and cultural institutions throughout the world, Wilson's Local Color incorporates traditional African and Caribbean artifacts from the Studio Museum's permanent collection and an assortment of objects the artist purchased along Harlem's 125th Street. Interested in the intersections between art and popular culture, Wilson asks viewers to consider what museums choose to collect and which histories are preserved.
Fred Wilson: Local Color is organized by Lauren Haynes, Assistant Curator.
