Exhibition: 1969, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center
1969 is a large scale exhibition occupying the entire second floor of P.S. 1 with works drawn from every department of The Museum of Modern Art. Exploring a cross section of art made during a period marked with revolution and socio-political tumult, this exhibition also will embrace five interventions by a current generation of artists. I collaborated with my colleagues Hank Willis Thomas and Shane Aslan Selzer to create a video installation for the bathroom entitled "Blackenized: Music for your MoMA". A response to the MoMA not including any Black artists in their collection from 1969.
