This event has ended.

For Collection Imagined, inaugural artist Adam Pendleton (artist in residence 2008–09), used the titles of works in the permanent collection to create Collected (Flamingo George) (2009), installed on the wall of the Studio Museum’s courtyard. Pendleton’s text-based installation challenges the normative function and construction of language, through a process of chance and specificity. This work joins other public works created for the Museum, including David Hammons’s (African-American) flag (2004) on the Museum’s facade and Glenn Ligon’s Give Us a Poem (2006) neon work in the atrium.

Collection Imagined is a new initiative of The Studio Museum in Harlem that activates and reinvigorates the permanent collection. Conceived andorganized by Studio Museum PR Manager and Editor in Chief Ali Evans, with installation direction by Exhibition Coordinator Marc Bernier, this project invites contemporary artists to explore the work, ideas, themes and artists in the Museum’s collection to produce new works of art.
