The Whitney Museum Black Male Exhibition
In the fall of 1994, the Whitney Museum presented Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art, a groundbreaking exhibition curated by Thelma Golden. Conceived in dialogue with an extraordinary group of contemporary artists, the exhibit investigated the complex aesthetics and politics at work in representations of African-American men in the post-Civil Rights era. On the 20th anniversary of Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art, Golden — Director and Chief Curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem — converses about the exhibition and its afterlife with the writer Hilton Als, (edited the exhibition’s catalogue) and Huey Copeland (Art Historian and Critic).
