Nari Ward: We People
Exhibition February 13 − May 26, 2019
New Museum of Contemporary Art presents an exhibition "Nari Ward: We People".
This is the first museum review in New York of works by contemporary artist Nari Ward (b. 1963, St. Andrew, Jamaica).
The exhibition in the New Museum is more than thirty sculptures, paintings, videos and large-scale installations for Ward’s twenty-five year career, which underlines his status as one of the most important and influential sculptors working today. Since the early 1990s, Ward has been creating his work, accumulating a staggering amount of junk materials and redirecting them in an amazing way.
This presentation emphasizes the continuing importance of New York, and in particular Harlem, for the material and thematic content of Ward's art. Many of his early sculptures were created from materials extracted from buildings and streets in Harlem.
