Black Girls In Art Spaces New York @ Hauser & Wirth

Join us at Hauser & Wirth 22nd Street on July 14 from 5-6pm for a tour of You Don’t Have to Tell me Twice’, an exhibit by the artist Mark Bradford. This meetup will be hosted by Brianna Beckham (@bri.bbbb) and will be joined by participants from Culture For One.

Culture For One is a non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of New York City children and young adults living in foster care by providing them with arts opportunities and exposure to local cultural communities. Hauser & Wirth worked directly with Mark to engage with a group of young people, ages 18 – 24, from the foster care system. The program will run for the duration of the exhibition, helping participants to build confidence and acquire new skills as they lead members of the public on guided visits of the exhibition.

‘You Don’t Have to Tell Me Twice,’ a major solo exhibition by Mark Bradford fills the entirety of the gallery’s 22nd Street building. The artist’s first show in New York since 2015 features a deeply personal exploration of the multifaceted nature of displacement and the predatory forces that feed on populations driven into motion by crisis. Primarily known for his unique style of ‘social abstraction,’ Bradford turns his attention toward figures, including his own, of flora and fauna—predators and prey—that move within dense, dreamlike abstracted landscapes, masses of material, color and line.
