Hey Black Stars, I have a new exhibit I think you’ll love. It’s steps away from the Court Square station of the 7 train in a converted public school building in the aptly named MoMA PS1. While it was cool to see the courtyard, visit the school’s original boiler room and and look straight into the sky, I really came for the “And Ever An Edge” exhibition. [The exhibition] presents the work of three artists-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem which is currently being remodeled. The intro reads that “And Ever An Edge…explores the relationships between histories of displacement and Black methods of resistance — through acts of care, tenderness, and withholding — that are integral to Black survival.”Each artist’s collection of work was distinct. Charisse Pearlina Weston from Houston used glass etched with photographs drawing connections between broken window policing, cameras, surveillance, and race. Jeffrey Meris from Haiti offers themes of cultural dissonance through compositions of objects and images. Devin N. Morris from Baltimore creates installations that transform paintings into three dimensional artwork using found objects. To me, the themes in his work explore value (especially of the things we discard), intimacy, and passion. After the show, there’s more to see in the book store’s excellent selection of books and stationery like postcards. Take it all in and debrief your favorite pieces in their very cute mint green cafe. Admission is free to all New Yorkers and “And Ever An Edge” will be on display until April 8th.
