99 Gansevoort St, New York, NY
*Inheritance*
Inheritance traces the profound impacts of legacy and the past across
familial, historical, and aesthetic lines. Featuring new acquisitions and
rarely-seen works from the Whitney collection by forty-three leading
artists, the exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, videos,
photographs, and time-based media installations from the 1970s to today.
This diverse array of works consider what has been passed on and how it may
shift, change, or live again.

Drawing inspiration from Ephraim Asili’s 2020 film of the same title,
Inheritance reflects on multiple meanings of the word, whether celebratory
or painful, from one era, person, or idea to the next. The exhibition takes
a layered approach to storytelling by interweaving narrative with
documentary and personal experiences with historical and generational
events. A group of works examining the cycle from birth to death opens the
exhibition, while other galleries take up different kinds of lineages, such
as how artists borrow from and remake art history or unspool legacies of
racialized violence and their recurrences.

The poet Rio Cortez speaks of being “framed by our future knowing”—even as
we sit in this moment, we slide backward and forward in time, between our
foremothers and the descendants we will never know. Rather than passively
accepting our current state, the artists whose work is on view here ask:
How did we get here, as individuals and as a society, and where are we
going?

Artists featured in this exhibition include Ephraim Asili, Sadie Barnette,
Kevin Beasley, Diedrick Brackens, Beverly Buchanan, Widline Cadet, Andrea
Carlson, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Ralston Crawford, Mary Beth Edelson, John
Edmonds, Kevin Jerome Everson, Chitra Ganesh, Todd Gray, Wade Guyton, David

*Fragments of a Faith Forgotten: The Art of Harry Smith*
Member Previews, Sept 28–Oct 2
Oct 4, 2023–Jan 28, 2024

Harry Smith (1923–1991), was a painter, filmmaker, folklorist,
musicologist, and collector as well as a radical nonconformist whose work
defies categorization. Although his creative output includes paintings,
films, poetry, music, and sound recordings, it also consists of extensive
collections of overlooked yet revealing objects, such as string figures and
found paper airplanes. His best-known work, a compilation of recordings
from the 1920s and 1930s titled the *Anthology of American Folk Music*,
achieved cultlike status among many musicians and listeners since it was
first published in 1952.

*Fragments of a Faith Forgotten: The Art of Harry Smith* puts the artist's
life on display alongside his art and collections. It follows him from an
isolated Depression-era childhood in the Pacific Northwest—a time when he
was immersed in ecstatic religious philosophies and Native American
ceremony—to his bohemian youth of marijuana, peyote, and intellectualism in
postwar Berkeley, California. The exhibition also traces his path through
the milieus of bebop and experimental cinema in San Francisco to his
decades in New York, where he was an essential part of the city's
avant-garde fringe.

Keenly attuned to changing technology, Smith embraced innovation and used
whatever was new and of the moment. At the same time, his lifelong interest
in abstract art, ancient traditions, metaphysics, spiritualism, folk art,
and world music came to the fore even as he devised ingenious ways of
collecting sounds and creating films. These concerns make Smith's work feel
increasingly prescient as collecting and sharing come into view as creative
acts that are necessary for drawing meaning from the glut of images and
juxtaposition of cultures we encounter every day.

*Ephraim Asili Song for My Mother*
Working across mediums, Ephraim Asili weaves together fragments of popular
culture and personal narrative to tell stories that situate individuals and
the ideas that inform them within broader historical contexts. In *Song for
My Mother* (2023), a new three-channel film installation, Ephraim takes
inspiration from his own story and charts a process of ancestral awakening
that arose out of a period of tremendous personal loss. By layering
gathered footage from across various sites, including unscripted interviews
and performances arising from chance encounters with members of the BCU
community, with archival materials and other cultural iconography, the
installation functions as a historical journey that crosses and connects
space and time to the past, present and future.

By relocating the personal within a wider context of what Ephraim calls
“Black radical collectivity,” *Song for My Mother* establishes a dialogue
with his first feature film *The Inheritance* (2020), a semi-fictional
documentary that follows the inner workings of a Black Marxist commune in
Philadelphia. Working in tandem, both films explore the nature of the
collective, from the interpersonal to the institutional, within the Black
American experience and its importance in establishing and maintaining safe
spaces for Black people to think outside of the constant reminders of a
racist society.

*Song for My Mother* is part of Rituals of Speaking, a film-led series that
explores how artists represent the voices of others through collective
storytelling.
