The Museum
of Modern Art USA | New York | Midtown
March 19,
2017-JULY 30, 2017
This
exhibition brings together work made in the past decade by more than a dozen
artists. These recent additions to the Museum’s collection explore the unrest,
anxiety, and critical reflection that characterizes our world. Responding to
today’s fierce identity politics and crises of truth, the exhibition includes
artworks that construct imagined scenarios or use observation of real events in
subjective depictions. In particular, the works consider the vagaries of state
violence, the implications of global capitalism, and the contemporary
reverberations of transatlantic slavery. These artists look back to traditions
both within and beyond the visual arts, such as readymade sculpture, film
montage, and folk storytelling, to imagine possibilities for an uncertain
future. The exhibition includes works by John Akomfrah, Jonathas de Andrade,
Anna Boghiguian, Samuel Fosso, Iman Issa, Cameron Rowland, Wolfgang Tillmans,
Kara Walker, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, among others.
