Artist Rashid Johnson is in our Drawing Room gallery today with Senior Curator Claire Gilman as we continue to install his upcoming exhibit “Anxious Men”. Johnson is creating a site-specific installation for our gallery. The core of the exhibition is a new series of black-soap-and-wax-on-tile portraits that Johnson calls his “anxious men.” The portraits will be set within a multi-sensory environment that includes wallpaper featuring a photograph of the artist’s father from the year Johnson was born , and an audio sound track comprised of Melvin Van Peebles’s “Love, That’s America,” a song that originally appeared in Peebles’s 1970 film Watermelon Man Join us for the opening of our fall exhibits - Richard Pousette-Dart 1930s; Rashid Johnson: Anxious Men; and Open Sessions 5.
