Noah
Davis’ new paintings and collages are, in his words, “instances where black
aesthetics and modernist aesthetics collide.” This exhibition will also feature
selections from the Underground Museum's collection featuring affiliated
artists and collectors including Karon
Davis, Dan Eldon, Lyle Ashton Harris, Kahlil Joseph, Deana Lawson, Hank
Peltzer, Henry Taylor, Kandis Williams and Suné Woods.
Noah Davis
(born 1983, Seattle, WA) studied painting at Cooper Union in New York City and
lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. He founded The Underground Museum in 2012
and operates the ongoing not for profit project. The Underground Museum is a
revolutionary platform for the arts and community in the West Adams / Crenshaw
district of central Los Angeles. It offers a new public entity for exhibitions
and programming as no inner-city institution has done before. Through
exhibitions, film screenings, a public garden and library, The Underground
Museum upholds the belief that art is an essential part of a vibrant, just, and
healthy society. This month, The Underground Museum was honored with LAXART’s
10 Year Anniversary Artist Grant for its contribution to the community.
BHQFU is
pleased to announce an expansion of its campus to include a new project space,
FUG, at 431 E 6th St. FUG will host BHQFU’s Visiting Artist Residency Program
supporting artists and collaborative projects from around the globe through
three to six week residencies merging exhibitions, public programs, classes,
and workshops. Visiting Artist Residency Program proposals will be accepted on
a rolling basis via bhqfu.org.
