Find New Presentations by Several Artists at The Rubell Museum
The Rubell Museum presents a new season of Collection Highlights, the artist-in-residence presentation “Basil Kincaid: Spirit in the Gift,” and solo exhibitions by leading artists including Sharif Farrag, Danie Cansino, Lauren Halsey, and Alejandro Piñeiro Bello. Kincaid’s engaging Courtship of Fireflies (2023) unfolds as an emotional tapestry of vivid materials; Kente, wool, fur, and Ghanaian wax block fabric come together in a poetic expression of joyful sharing. Kehinde Wiley’s Sleep (2008) presents a Black male protagonist in idyllic slumber, appearing supremely angelic while swathed in white satin sheets and a dreamlike floral bounty. Patrick Martinez debuts the neon Struggle and Progress (Frederick Douglas) (2018), while Alfonso Gonzalez Jr.’s Magic Beauty (2022) embraces modern rituals of self-love in diverse communities.
