For All Your Life Studies


In Practice: You May Go but This Will Bring You Back
For All Your Life Studies
March 25 - August 2, 2021
SculptureCenter
Long Island City, NY

The first iteration in series For All Your Life Studies, is a two-channel site specific video installation at SculptureCenter in Queens, NY. The projections manipulate personal home videos of swimming competitions to address a thorny relationship to the artist’s past; one that includes expressions of privilege, access, leisure, as well as survival, addressing the question: What is the value of black life and death?
