Harmony Hammond: Material Witness, Five Decades of Art, curated by Amy Smith-Stewart, at the Sarasota Art Museum, FL.
The institution's press release follows:
Harmony Hammond: Material Witness, Five Decades of Art is the first museum survey of the work of Harmony Hammond – subversive artist, feminist and lesbian scholar, author and curator. Through the recontextualization of a wide cast of materials and form, Hammond challenges the historical associations of painting as a male-dominated field, and combats stereotypes of feminist and queer art. Organized by The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, this exhibition spans fifty years (1971–2018) of Hammond’s painting-sculpture works, drawings, and ephemera.
