About the Exhibition:

Derrick Adams: Sanctuary (http://madmuseum.org/exhibition/derrick-adams-sanctuary)
January 25, 2018 to August 12, 2018

Derrick Adams: Sanctuary (http://madmuseum.org/exhibition/derrick-adams-sanctuary) includes 50 works of mixed-media collage, assemblage on wood panels, and sculpture presented in a site-specific installation designed by the artist and reimagines safe destinations for the black American traveler during Jim Crow-era America. Sanctuary was inspired by The Negro Motorist Green Book, an annual guidebook that directed black travelers to places and businesses that were welcoming during an era when open and often legally prescribed discrimination against people of color was widespread. The depiction of black America at leisure, and the politicization of that act, is a theme of continued interest to Adams, particularly as it pertains to the pursuit of the “American Dream.”

Derrick Adams: Sanctuary is curated by Dexter Wimberly, Executive Director of Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art (Newark), and the Museum of Arts and Design’s Assistant Curator Samantha De Tillio.

Major support for Derrick Adams: Sanctuary is provided by Exhibition Chairs Michael and Patti Dweck. Derrick Adams is proudly represented in New York by Tilton Gallery.

6th Floor | Project Space

In Pieceable Kingdom, MAD’s Spring 2017 Van Lier Fellow Camille Hoffman presents new mixed-media artworks that offer meditations on Manifest Destiny and its latent representation in the romantic American landscape. For her Fellow Focus exhibition, Hoffman explores the interconnectedness of her personal identity with American colonialism, environmental policy, and contemporary pop culture.

Funds for the Van Lier Fellowship are provided by the New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellowship Program, which supports talented, culturally diverse, economically challenged young people who are dedicated to careers in the arts.
