Kwaku Alston’s “Harlem Postcard” on view at Studio Museum
We’re proud to report that Kwaku Alston, who has previously exhibited personal series such as “Volkslivin” and “Horizon Court” at his space in Venice Beach, California, has just celebrated his first museum show. The exhibition, titled “Harlem Postcards: Fall/Winter 2010–11,” opened last week at the Studio Museum in Harlem and also includes work by Deana Lawson, Petra Richterova, and Lewis Watts.
From the Studio Museum’s website: “Harlem Postcards, an ongoing project, invites contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds to reflect on Harlem as a site of cultural activity, political vitality, visual stimuli, artistic contemplation and creative production. Representing intimate and dynamic perspectives of Harlem, the images reflect each artist’s oeuvre with an idiosyncratic snapshot taken of, or representing, this historic locale. Each photograph has been reproduced as a limited-edition postcard available free to visitors.”
There’s also a nifty interactive component—you can send an image from the show to a friend as an e-postcard.
Here’s Kwaku’s contribution to “Harlem Postcards: Fall/Winter 2010–11,” which will be on view through March 13…
