Earlier this year, The Museum of Modern Art (@themuseumofmodernart) announced its acquisition of all 35 works from Adam Pendleton’s (@pendleton.adam) 2021-2022 exhibition “Who Is Queen?”. The acquisition included paintings and drawings from Pendleton’s Black Dada and WE ARE NOT bodies of work, as well as three videos, including “Notes on Resurrection City”, “Notes on the Robert E. Lee Monument, Richmond VA (figure)”, and “So We Moved: A Portrait of Jack Halberstam”.

The Mexico City-based photographer and filmmaker Anna Pla-Narbona captured one of the last moments Pendleton had in his studio with the painting “Everything” before it left for the museum’s collection.
-
“Who Is Queen?” was organized by Stuart Comer, the Lonti Ebers Chief Curator of Media and Performance (@stuartcomer), with Danielle A. Jackson, former Curatorial Assistant (@virtuosa12), and Gee Wesley, Curatorial Assistant, and with the support of Veronika Molnar, Intern, Department of Media and Performance.

My new Brooklyn studio is featured in @archdigest today. Link in bio for the full story

Via @archdigest:
Artist Adam Pendleton (@pendleton.adam) and longtime collaborator, architect Frederick Tang (@fredericktangarchitecture) recently turned two former storefronts in Brooklyn into a tailor-made studio for Pendleton. Through invitingly tall glass gallery doors, shipped from Italy, they carved out a series of discrete private chambers, as well as a 13-foot-high white box viewing room. On the building’s brick façade they added a band of raked black stucco that calls to mind the textural surfaces of Pendleton’s paintings. “At an institution, my goal is to deconstruct, reimagine, or repurpose,” Pendleton says. “That’s one of the things a painting can do, and I think that’s what good architecture does. It repurposes space. It enacts transformation.”
