Resident Artist Lyle Ashton Harris has cultivated a diverse artistic practice ranging from photography and collage to installation and performance art. His work explores intersections between the personal and the political, examining the impact of ethnicity, gender, and desire on the contemporary social and cultural dynamic. During his Twenty Summers residency, he plans to work on a large-scale collage and portraits.
Lyle Ashton Harris’s work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art and has been exhibited internationally in the Venice Biennale, the Bienal de São Paulo, and most recently at the Centre Pompidou in Parisl. He has been a recipient of the David C. Driskell Prize from the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and of a Guggenheim Fellowship. Harris’s multimedia installation Once (Now) Again was included in the 78th Whitney Biennial, and his three-channel video work Ektachrome Archives (New York Mix) is in the Whitney’s permanent collection. In 2017 Aperture published his book Today I Shall Judge Nothing That Occurs. Harris is an associate professor of Art at New York University. He is represented by Salon 94.
