Fore

Published in conjunction with Fore, the Studio Museum presents the Fore catalogue which includes full-color reproductions, essays by Assistant Curators Lauren Haynes, Naima J. Keith and Thomas J. Lax and a commissioned essay by an emerging critic, curator or art historian for each artist.

Fore is the fourth in a series of emerging artist exhibitions presented by the Studio Museum, following Freestyle (2001), Frequency (2005–06) and Flow (2008). This exhibition traces the development of artistic ideas since Flow, taking into account social, political and cultural conditions in the United States. Whether gathering and assembling everyday objects, referencing urban architecture and economies, or using film and video to mirror the transmission and reception of information through social media, the artists in Fore emphasize that contemporary art is deeply tied to its location, time and historical context. This exhibition investigates questions at the core of the Studio Museum’s mission, exploring art’s relationship to U.S. and global communities.
