Kahlil Robert Irving: Archaeology of the Present

ex2023kri_ins_ Visual Arts, Exhibitions, installation views. Kahlil Robert Irving: Archaeology of the Present, February 23, 2023 – January 21, 2024, Gallery C / Burnet. Photo by Eric Mueller, courtesy Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. St. Louis–based artist Kahlil Robert Irving (US, b. 1992) creates assemblages made of layered images and sculptures composed of replicas of everyday objects. For his presentation at the Walker, Irving has situated sculptures and other items within a large plywood platform, resembling a stage. Viewers can move onto the structure to encounter both artworks and manufactured objects alike. This exhibition features Irving’s new sculptures, video, and found objects that together consider our relationship to the city street as a place and a concept.

Kahlil Robert Irving: Archaeology of the Present

"Kahlil Robert Irving: Archaeology of the Present" features the artwork of St. Louis–based artist Kahlil Robert Irving. Clay-based works are at the center of Irving’s multidisciplinary practice, which examines digital media, memory, race, and Black life as subjects embedded in his ceramic sculptures. This exhibition features Irving’s new sculptures, videos, and paintings that together consider our relationship to the city street as a place and a concept, while also challenging constructions of identity and culture in the Western world.
