Harlem Postcards Summer 2010 July 15, 2010

Represented, revered, and recognized by people around the world, Harlem is a continually expanding nexus of black culture, history and iconography. Venerable landmarks, such as the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Apollo Theater, Hotel Theresa, Audubon Ballroom and 125th Street, remain popular emblems of important historic moments and moods. The Studio Museum’s ongoing series Harlem Postcards invites contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds to reflect on Harlem as a site for artistic contemplation and production. Available free of charge in the Museum lobby, the postcards offer intimate views of and new perspectives on this famous neighborhood. This season we feature images by Sanford Biggers, Tiara Hernandez, Hew Locke and Ginger Brooks Takahashi.
