Cambridge, MA, USA United States of America

Six monumental paintings by Oliver Jackson and an hour-long recording of music composed by Marty Ehrlich will be featured in the Sert Gallery at Harvard’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts . Duo: Oliver Jackson/Marty Ehrlich is dedicated to the late jazz saxophonist and composer Julius Hemphill (a friend and colleague of both artists) and represents the most ambitious and extended works Jackson and Ehrlich have executed to date.

They collaborated on the work two years ago, when both were in residence in adjoining studios near the Harvard campus. The Fogg Art Museum sponsored Jackson’s residency, while Ehrlich was the University’s Office for the Arts’ 1999–2000 Peter Ivers Visiting Artist.

"We are pleased to be presenting the work of Oliver Jackson and Marty Ehrlich," said James Cuno, Elizabeth and John Moors Cabot director of the Harvard University Art Museums. "Their collaboration was the result of a fruitful residency at Harvard, both for the artists and for the students who met with them."
