WASHINGTON, DC: ADAM PENDLETON

Love, Queen

Adam Pendleton Makes D.C. Debut with Love, Queen at the Hirshhorn

On view at the Hirshhorn Museum through January 3, 2027, Adam Pendleton: Love, Queen marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in Washington, D.C. Featuring new and recent paintings alongside a striking video installation, the show highlights Pendleton’s innovative approach to abstraction, language, and layered visual process.

Best known for his Black Dada project, Pendleton blurs boundaries between painting, drawing, photography, and performance. A highlight of the exhibition is Resurrection City Revisited (Who Owns Geometry Anyway?)—a floor-to-ceiling video work that reimagines the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign encampment through archival footage, found images, and a dynamic score.

Curated by Evelyn C. Hankins, Love, Queen positions Pendleton’s work in dialogue with the Hirshhorn’s permanent collection and the charged political history of the National Mall.
