Curators Tour with Leanne Stella

About

This year’s edition of Harlem Perspectives will present works by a selection of artists who deconstruct history through their process of art making.  With their hands, a brush, or through a lens, the artists investigate, manipulate and work materials and objects that are charged with a personal and/or political narrative.  While teasing, tearing and appropriating materials, the artists examine the cultural values and historical significance placed on the objects or subjects in their work.  The resulting works define a new narrative revealing how the artists may find reconciliation or antipathy through the process and prompting the viewer to question preconceived notions and beliefs.
