Artist Nayland Blake ’82 Toys with Race and Queerness in Solo Show at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
“Over a career that dates to the 1980s, including formative years in San Francisco and Los Angeles, the influential artist, curator and teacher (Blake chairs a joint master’s program run by Bard College and the International Center of Photography in New York) has become known for visceral works. These include performance, but also sculpture and assemblage that take everyday objects—shoes, toys, record albums, bondage gear—and uses them to pick apart social categories such as gender, race, queer sexuality and the fraught points at which they can meet.” The exhibition runs through January 26.
