On View presents images from noteworthy exhibitions
A GROUP EXHIBITION at MoMA PS1, “(Never) As I Was” presents new works by the Studio Museum in Harlem’s 2020-21 artists-in-residence: Widline Cadet, Texas Isaiah, Genesis Jerez, and Jacolby Satterwhite. While construction continues on the new Studio Museum building, the annual exhibition is being presented at MoMA PS1 for a third year. At the same time, for the first time since the residency program was established in 1968, the artists participated entirely remotely, due to the pandemic. Over the past year, working in a variety of mediums, the artists explored themes that have been preoccupying society at-large during these challenging times—memoir, memories, family histories, and spirituality.
