The DPI Alum is part of a cohort of Black artists featured in Social Works, an exhibition at Gagosian in New York curated by the newest of the gallery’s directors, 32-year-old Antwaun Sargent. On from June 24 to August 13, the show includes work by acclaimed talents like Titus Kaphar, Carrie Mae Weems and Theaster Gates as well as by lesser-known, younger names like the video artist Christie Neptune, all of whom investigate the experience of Black people moving through space—physically, psychically, temporally, institutionally and generationally.
