Final Weeks of “Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America” at New Museum, Closing June 6

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Announcing the final weeks of “Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America,” on view at the #newmuseum through June 6, 2021. Originally conceived by Okwui Enwezor (1963–2019), the exhibition is presented with curatorial support from advisors Naomi Beckwith, Massimiliano Gioni, Glenn Ligon, and Mark Nash. An intergenerational exhibition, “Grief and Grievance” brings together thirty-seven artists working in a variety of mediums who have addressed the concept of mourning, commemoration, and loss as a direct response to the national emergency of racist violence experienced by Black communities across America. The exhibition further considers the intertwined phenomena of Black grief and a politically orchestrated white grievance, as each structures and defines contemporary American social and political life. Included in “Grief and Grievance” are works encompassing video, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, sound, and performance made in the last decade, along with several key historical works, and a series of new commissions created in response to the concept of the exhibition.
 
Closing Weekend
As #newyork City continues to reopen its doors and the city's cultural institutions welcome an increasing number of visitors, the #newmuseum will offer free admission to "Grief and Grievance" for the exhibition's final weekend, June 5 and 6. The #newmuseum has been honored to present this crucial and timely exhibition, conceived by the late Okwui Enwezor, and the Museum wants to share it with as many #people as possible during our closing weekend. Timed-entry tickets for June 5 and 6 will be available starting at 10:00 am EDT on Wednesday, May 19, at newmuseum.org (limit of two tickets per order).

In conjunction with the exhibition, the #newmuseum has presented an ongoing series of conversations highlighting the practices of artists featured in “Grief and Grievance,” including over a dozen artist talks.
