Image and caption reposted from @jackshainman Coming up in January 2025, “Space is the Place,” an exhibition highlighting the profound and visionary works of renowned artist Barkley L. Hendricks, curated by Elisabeth Sann, will open at our Chelsea gallery. A playlist made in collaboration with Soul Jazz Records will accompany the exhibition.
“Space is the Place” offers an exploration into the relationship between celestial bodies and the human experience. This connection sets the stage for an immersive experience that merges visual art, music, and philosophical exploration of the cosmos, and the future.
At the heart of this exhibition is the title itself, “Space is the Place,” which references the groundbreaking 1972 film by jazz composer and Afrofuturist icon, Sun Ra.
The cultural and artistic movement of Afrofuturism blends together science fiction, African traditions, contemporary Black experiences, and futuristic visions to reimagine the future for Black people.
