Spring 2023 Newsletter: New-York Historical Society Artist Residency + Museum Acquisition and more!
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
BIG NEWS: I am an artist-in-residence at New-York Historical Society! I’ve been researching the collections with Curator of Material Culture Rebecca Klassen and our project, On Our Terms (working title), will culminate in an exhibition in Spring 2024. Stay tuned for details!
Baltimore Museum of Art recently acquired my textile work Colonial Desires (2022) that was on view in Beatrice Glow: Once the Smoke Clears. This marks my first acquisition by a major public institution and the piece will be back on view in summer 2023. Check out the other exciting 150+ acquisitions here!
A wall-scale version of my Pattern Index of Flowers and Forts is now on view at Rhode Island College’s Bannister Gallery as part of the group show Mediums and Messengers curated by Danni Shen.
In January, I performed over 12 editions of The Auctioneer, The Specialist & The Artist. I led small groups of visitors through fictional historic period rooms I installed at Saint Joseph’s Art Foundation as part of auction house Nicot & Tang’s preview of a 2068 evening sale of The Collection of the EoS 10^15. Presenting this speculatively dystopic future has been my most ambitious performance to date blending immersive theater, installation, sculpture, olfactory experiences, and as one visitor called it, “nutty sci-fi.” I hope to one day do this on a larger scale. For now, The Auctioneer’s white gloves are tucked away in storage.
