Tash & Josh with Concierge Q | NEW MUSEUM | 235 Bowery, New York, NY 10002
OK, this exhibit will rock you to the core. No matter who you are and no matter what your political or racial views are, this exhibit will open up your mind to more than you thought possible.
The New Museum brings us “Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America.” An intergenerational exhibition of works from thirty-seven artists, conceived by curator Okwui Enwezor.
This Exhibition Brings Together Works that Address Black Grief as a National Emergency in the Face of a politically Orchestrated White Grievance.
Words can’t explain how powerful this exhibit is. You have to see it for yourself. Nothing I say will do it justice. You have to see it for yourself.
We started at the top on the 4th Floor and made our way down.
The exhibit was originally conceived by Okwui Enwezor in 2018.
Enwezor has expressed a desire to open the exhibition in proximity to the American presidential election, as a powerful response to a crisis in American democracy and as a clear indictment of Donald Trump’s racist politics.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the opening of the exhibition, the works included in the exhibition speak powerfully to America’s past and present.
