Lorraine O’Grady ‘55, a critically acclaimed contemporary artist and cultural critic, returns to the Boston area with her retrospective exhibition Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And. This landmark exhibition will coincide with a performance art series, both of which are free and open to the public
Both/And will be on view at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College from February 8 to June 2, 2024. The Museum will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., beginning Feb. 9.
Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And is the first major career survey of the renowned conceptual artist whose work has long challenged prevailing understandings around gender, race, and class. Originally organized by the Brooklyn Museum in March 2021, the exhibition charts the development of O’Grady’s artistic oeuvre, which spans collage, photo-installation, performance, and video. It brings focus to the artist’s skillful subversion of the “either/or” logic inherent in the Western philosophical canon, and explores her longstanding commitment to the reasoning of “both/and.”
