Los Angeles, CA | Curator-Led Tour: Simone Leigh at LACMA
August 16 | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Experience LACMA from an expert perspective on a curator-led tour of Simone Leigh. Naima J. Keith, Vice President of Education and Public Programs and a curator of the exhibition’s presentation at LACMA, will lead ArtTable’s exclusive tour. A leading curator and educator who previously worked at CAAM and the Studio Museum in Harlem, Keith was ArtTable’s New Leadership awardee in 2018.
About the exhibition: Simone Leigh, a traveling exhibition organized by the ICA Boston and co-presented in Los Angeles by LACMA and the California African American Museum, is the first comprehensive survey of the richly layered work of this celebrated artist. LACMA’s presentation features approximately 20 years of Leigh’s production in ceramic, bronze, video, and installation, as well as works from her 2022 Venice Biennale presentation. Over the past two decades, Leigh has created works exploring questions of Black femme subjectivity and knowledge production. Addressing a wide swath of historical periods, geographies, and traditions, her art references vernacular and hand-made processes from across the African diaspora, as well as forms traditionally associated with African art and architecture. Accompanied by a major monograph, this exhibition offers visitors a timely opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of Leigh’s complex and profoundly moving work.
