Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen? Exhibition at MoMA

Installation view of the exhibition "Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen?"

From MoMA:

Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen? transforms MoMA’s Marron Family Atrium into a dynamic arena exploring Blackness, abstraction, and the avant-garde. In his monumental floor-to-ceiling installation, Adam Pendleton has created a spatial collage of text, image, and sound—a total work of art for the 21st century.

Challenging the traditional role of the museum as a repository for a fixed history, Who Is Queen? collages multiple voices and cultural touch points to generate new relationships between traditionally incommensurable subjects. As the artist states, the work “is not black or white. It articulates the ways in which we simultaneously possess and are possessed by contradictory ideals and ideas.”

The exhibition is on view through January 30, 2022.
