🚨social works opens today 🚨
Thanks to the artists who made this exhibition possible and to all of my colleagues, especially
@kayellepea , at gagosian who helped us make it a reality. If you are in the city, I hope to see you in the gallery this evening!
@gagosian is pleased to present Social Works with participating artists David Adjaye, Zalika Azim, Allana Clarke, Kenturah Davis, Theaster Gates, Linda Goode Bryant, Lauren Halsey, Titus Kaphar, Rick Lowe, Christie Neptune, Alexandria Smith, and Carrie Mae Weems.
Social Works considers the relationship between space—personal, public, institutional, and psychic—and Black social practice. With a wide range of material and theoretical approaches, the work on view is united by a conscious engagement with today’s cultural moment, in which numerous social factors have converged to produce a heightened urgency for Black artists to utilize space as a community-building tool and a means of empowerment.
