Exploring how artists challenge conventional histories by manipulating the principal medium through which received ideas are conveyed—printed texts—The Studio Museum in Harlem will present the exhibition Excerpt, opening January 26, 2017. Including artists’ books, photographs, prints, works on paper and multimedia pieces by fifteen artists, selected primarily from the Studio Museum’s unparalleled collection, Excerpt is organized by Adeze Wilford, one of four participants in the inaugural fellowship collaboration of The Studio Museum in Harlem and The Museum of Modern Art.

“By physically breaking down the medium of the published text and blurring the lines between written word and visual landscape, the artists in Excerpt confront dominant discourses, make spaces for alternative voices and create fuller narratives,” said Wilford, inaugural Studio Museum / MoMA Curatorial Fellow. “As an emerging curator, the opportunity to add to the art historical discourse in this way is especially meaningful.”
