Few snaps from the newly opened Studio Museum in Harlem and their opening exhibition of Tom Lloyd.

Mixed feelings about a lot of the architectural decisions which are well documented elsewhere, but glad to see it back open. Curious to see how the building and the exhibitions open over the next few years.

Entering Trafalgar Square in London, it was nearly impossible to miss the curious installation of an impressive ship in a bottle. Placed atop the Fourth Plinth in front of the National Gallery from May 24th 2010 to last week, was the whimsically oversized model Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle (2010) by British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, MBE. Shonibare, celebrated for his potent, yet playful, post-colonial perspective and symbolic use of West African textiles, last exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem in a 2002 solo show.

Sadie Barnette, “The New Eagle Creek Saloon,” 2022,

Organized in conjunction with The Studio Museum in Harlem, The New Eagle Creek Saloon presents Sadie Barnette’s fluorescent recreation of the San Francisco gay bar that her father, founder of the Compton chapter of the Black Panther Party, operated in the early 1990s.

On select Saturdays, the architectural installation is activated by DJs invited by queer scholar and artist madison moore as part of The Kitchen’s new nightlife and club culture residency; visitors are invited to dance, an homage to queer Black spaces past and present.
