May 19 Sunday
In coordination with the exhibition "Kahlil Robert Irving: Archaeology of the Present," the artist Kahlil Robert Irving selected a series of contemporary video works to screen concurrently in the Kemper Art Museum’s Video Gallery. This is the second time the artist has curated a video series alongside a presentation of his own artworks. The seven videos he selected highlight intimate moments in time and space when Black people are present, emphasizing the fact that no matter the setting, “We are still here.” Locations range from a person's home, to family gatherings, to horseback riding in Oakland, California. These works are meant to remind some people that it is okay to be ourselves and to let others know that it is normal to see Black people participating in different acts or as a part of different metaphors. In today’s world, living is defined by adversity, resistance, and survival, all of which are inextricably linked to digital media. Digital media is variously used as a tool for protest, remembering passing moments , entertainment, and deception. The selected videos celebrate and acknowledge artistic practices that deploy a myriad of tools, technologies, and metaphors.
The participating artists are Lyndon Barrois Jr., Tony Cokes, Cameron Downey, Addoley Dzegede, Charles H. Lee, William M. Morris, Jefferson Pinder, and Tiffany J. Sutton.
Stop into Steve's to try special infused menu items on the 3rd Saturday of every month WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! Available for guests 21 and up only!
"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.
"Slingshot: 2024 MFA in Visual Art Thesis Exhibition" features thesis projects by the Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art candidates in the 2024 graduating class of the Graduate School of Art in Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.
The exhibition title holds a variety of associations for the candidates, including references to childhood and play, gravity, movement, tension, and release. The artists explore such themes as the body, identity, the built environment, and technology through a range of aesthetic practices and mediums that include collage, drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography.
The 2024 MFA in Visual Art candidates are Emily Elhoffer, Jordan Geiger, Joni P. Gordon, Mad Green, Sophia Hatzikos, Micah Mickles, Sarah Moon, Samantha Neu, and Lynne Smith.
The exhibition is organized by Leslie Markle, curator for public art at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.
