“What can I reveal that has not been shown?,” the artist Derrick Adams asks, “Black people—not entertaining, just being, living. Letting people deal with that as reality.” In his paintings and installations, Adams celebrates moments of everyday Black life and explores how popular culture permeates contemporary reality. Join Adams for an online conversation with curator Lanka Tattersall, in which they will discuss Joyride 1 and Joyride 2, a pair of Adams paintings currently on view in the Modern Window.
