Mi è piaciuto molto il tributo
artistico di Fred Wilson con Local Color, riproposto dal 1993, ora allo Studio Museum
in Harlem a New York.
For the first
time since its exhibition in 1993, the Studio Museum will be resenting
conceptual artist Fred Wilson (b. 1954)’s installation Local Color,
originally created for the Studio Museum exhibition Artists Respond: The
“New World” Question. Known for his
installation and projects in museums and cultural institutions throughout
the world, Wilson’s Local Color incorporates traditional African and
Caribbean artifacts from the Studio Museum’s permanent collection and an
assortment of objects the artist purchased along Harlem’s 125th Street. Interested
in the intersections between art and popular culture, Wilson asks viewers to
consider what museums choose to collect and which histories are preserved. Fred Wilson:
Local Color is organized by Lauren Haynes, Assistant Curator.
