New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of “Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe” with Alexandra Schwartz
May 20 | 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe at the Museum of Arts & Design, led by Alexandra Schwartz, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Craft, and Design.
The first retrospective of the artist’s two decades of world-building installations, the exhibition showcases Woolfalk’s ambitious fictional narrative of an imagined race of women known as “Empathics.” Woolfalk has created for the Empathics’ their own distinctive visual imagery, symbolism, and folklore, which reflect her investigations of African, African American, Japanese, European, and Brazilian art, craft, and storytelling. In this parable told through garment-based sculptures, video, paintings, works on paper, and performances, cultures mix, clash, and are ultimately transformed through shared understanding.
