Last week I had the opportunity to be one of the first students to walk back through the museum’s doors after over a year of the building being closed to the public. As a remote student, being back on campus felt surreal, but as soon as I walked back through the exhibits at the Neuberger I felt like I was back home as a campus resident once again.
The latest Open Classroom project by Purchase M+ graduate students debuts this week at the Neuberger Museum of Art.
Concentrated Power is organized by Rebecca E. M. Ribeiro, Veronica Murphy, Meg Byron, and Shunyo Aizawa Morgan — the curatorial cohort of Purchase College’s Art History Exhibition course (2020-2021).
As I researched Thursday’s Artist Talk with Hank Willis Thomas, I was quickly drawn in by the artist’s work and how he is so clearly connected to recent sociocultural events and what the #BlackLivesMatter Movement stands for.
