My Global Hustle

This exhibition is a going to be epic! I got the good news yesterday that 2 of my friends will be included in the show – Hank Willis Thomas & Serge Mouangue. I still haven’t seen the whole line-up, but I’m sure there are a few more folks that I know who will be involved. Kudos to the Museum of Art & Design. I’ve always felt like they were the most slept on museum in NYC. The opening for this exhibition will be on November 17th. Read below to get a little more flavor about the exhibition. -!YG

The Global Africa Project Explores the Impact of African Visual Culture on Contemporary Art, Craft, and Design around the World
Opening at MAD on November 17, 2010, Groundbreaking Exhibition Challenges Traditional Conceptions of “African” Aesthetic

New York (September 16, 2010) — An unprecedented exhibition exploring the broad spectrum of contemporary African art, design, and craft worldwide, The Global Africa Project premieres at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) on November 17, 2010. Featuring the work of more than 100 artists working in Africa, Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Caribbean, The Global Africa Project surveys the rich pool of new talent emerging from the African continent and around the world. Through furniture, architecture, textiles, fashion, jewelry, ceramics, and basketry, as well as selective examples of photography, painting, sculpture, and installation work, the exhibition actively challenges conventional notions of a singular African aesthetic and identity, and reflects the integration of African art and design without making the usual distinctions between “professional” and “artisan.”
