I am extremely excited and proud to announce that the grand reopening of The Studio Museum in Harlem will include an exhibition designed, produced, and installed by Software Studios.
The exhibition is titled ‘To Be A Place’ and is a visual historical timeline of the museum from its inception in 1968, to the present day construction of its new building. It includes over 200 reproductions of photographs and documents throughout the museum’s over 50 year history.
I want to extend a big thank you and congratulations to Habiba Hopson, the former Senior Curatorial Assistant, and her team for trusting us to complete this massive undertaking in a relatively short amount of time under a tight deadline. It was such a pleasure to work with her and Abigail Gordon, the Studio Museum Curatorial Fellow, on this exhibition and the countless hours on Zoom and in Figma to get this done.
I’d also like to give a big thank you to the Software Studios team: Chris Cunningham, Jenny Zhang, Alice Gong, and Mark Jayson Quines for providing and unimaginable amount of hard work and dedication to make this all come together as beautifully as it did and have fun doing it along the way.
Please go visit the museum when you get the chance. There are many other incredible exhibitions populating the building including Tom Lloyd who was the first artist to exhibit at The Studio Museum’s original location back in 1969!
Additional thanks to the Studio Museum team:
Connie Choi - Curator
Natasha Logan - Chief Program Officer
Yelena Keller - Assistant Curator
Corey Durbin - Head Art Preparator
Troy Vasilakis - Senior Graphic Designer

Back in February before the city shutdown I had the pleasure of working with @aliciamersy to print and install her photographs large scale on fabric at Chef’s Club for @lev.nyc residency. The residency was short lived and had to close down only two weeks after opening because of Covid but was still one of the most fun projects I have had a chance to work on. The first and largest piece was a collaboration with @thisismayan all the other images are iphone photos Alicia took in Morocco. These image were printed on two different types of natural cottons and the colors came out so vibrant! Also s/o @lev.nyc they make some of the most incredible food - much love <333 stay safe
@software_studios studios printed my favorite painting ever on our cotton lawn and I’m just 🤯🤯🤯🤯
