Hello everyone,
On behalf of the entire team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us
this evening live from NYC via Zoom (7p ET / 4p PT) for our weekly free and
interactive tour.
#137 Considering Art: Considering Migration - featuring urgent work by
Thenjiwe Nkosi.
Thenjiwe Nkosi (she/her)
<https://thenjiwenkosi.com/stadium/vznbkv1tt0744kk90f6qadk9snhv2r> explores
how people navigate spaces and structures both visible and imagined. Her
paintings, videos and installations examine the transformative experiences
of displacement and migration that informed her childhood and later life.
Her work also explores racial and social dynamics of competitive sports,
reframing images outside of their original context to question the politics
of representation. Working with Photoshop to arrange her compositions, she
paints mostly from found images and YouTube videos, which are digitally
edited to remove sections of the surrounding backdrop. In her portraits,
subjects are framed with fields of vibrant colour suggestive of transitory
spaces unmarked by place or history. In her exploration of elite women's
gymnastics, the artist uses the sporting arena as an illustration of the
representation of Black achievement in historically white spaces. Rather
than capturing the drama of the main event, Nkosi's paintings are mindful
of the gaps, absences and voids that characterize Blackness as both a
social construct and lived experience.
In this tour, we embark on some close looking.
Together we ask: What do you see?
