"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.
