This exhibition brings together extraordinary examples of Nengudi’s early and recent sculpture, presenting them alongside performance photographs from her breakthrough moment of the mid-1970s. The exhibition explores the ethics of friendship and collective creation that has infused Nengudi’s artistic practice across her career, including videos documenting early and recent collaborations with Maren Hassinger, David Hammons, Cheryl Banks-Smith, and Lawrence “Butch” Morris. Hassinger’s work is the subject of an exhibition that recently closed at Art + Practice and will be on view at The Baltimore Museum of Art July 18—November 25, 2018.Note: All exhibitions and programs at A+P are free and open to everyone, and no RSVPs are required.Image: Senga Nengudi.
