Be part of a LACMA for a tour of Simone Leigh.
Simone Leigh, a touring exhibition organized by the ICA Boston and co-presented in Los Angeles by LACMA and the California African American Museum, is the primary complete survey of the richly layered work of this celebrated artist. LACMA’s presentation options roughly 20 years of Leigh’s manufacturing in ceramic, bronze, video, and set up, in addition to works from her 2022 Venice Biennale presentation. Over the previous twenty years, Leigh has created works exploring questions of Black femme subjectivity and data manufacturing. Addressing a large swath of historic intervals, geographies, and traditions, her artwork references vernacular and hand-made processes from throughout the African diaspora, in addition to types historically related to African artwork and structure. Accompanied by a significant monograph, this exhibition provides guests a well timed alternative to achieve a holistic understanding of Leigh’s advanced and profoundly shifting work.
