MILWAUKEE: RASHID JOHNSON

Hail We Now Sing Joy
June 23 - September 17, 2017

MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM
700 North Art Museum Drive
Milwaukee, WI

From mam.org:

Hail We Now Sing Joy is an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures by acclaimed Chicago native Rashid Johnson. Using his signature materials of white ceramic tile, red oak flooring, shea butter, black soap, and wax, Johnson examines themes of race, history, yearning, anxiety, and escape and investigates the relationship between art, society, and personal identity. Fourteen of the artist’s large-scale works will fill the Museum’s entire feature exhibition space; their impact is as monumental as their size.
