Miriam And Ira D Wallach Art Gallery
What's happening
This exhibition amplifies the Carnival’s central role in supporting the art of Black and diverse contemporary artists, establishing a home for emerging and established artists, and creating a dynamic teaching environment and pedagogical model for community-based arts education and meaningful artistic experiences.
Allan Sekula’s Fish Story is the result of seven years (1988–1995) of documenting harbors and port cities around the world. Underscoring photography's role in labor history and in working class responses to globalization, Fish Story constitutes a unique record of unemployment and dilapidation of old industrial powers, the capitalist pursuit of cheap labor around the globe, and the strenuous work of seafaring.
Artist Didier William recalls the audio cassette tapes that his family used to communicate between Haiti and Miami during the 1990s. Didier William: Time Portal is inspired by this audio archive and shaped by temporality. This exhibition, which features a large body of prints, paintings, and sculpture, is the artist’s first survey exhibition in New York City.
