TONIGHT: The Artist's Voice: Fred Wilson in Conversation with Lauren Haynes
Thursday, May 30, 2013 7pm
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.
This event is nearly SOLD OUT. Limited tickets are available via Brown Paper Tickets—reserve yours now!

7pm: The Artist's Voice: Melvin Edwards in Conversation with Naima J. Keith
Melvin Edwards is a pioneer in the history of African-American art, best known for his sculptural series Lynch Fragments. His Working Time (1985) from that series is included in the current Studio Museum exhibition Assembly Required. For this program, Edwards will be in conversation with Naima J. Keith, Assistant Curator. They will discuss Edwards' body of work and the importance of location and configuration for sculpture, but also the limits of artistic intention when a work is displayed.
Assembly Required, organized by Keith, presents photographs, drawings, sculptures and paintings from the Studio Museum’s permanent collection that explore the ways in which certain works are dependent on site, and the viewer’s conceptual and perceptual experience of that locale through the artist’s intervention.
