How the Studio Museum in Harlem Reshaped the Art World

The Studio Museum in Harlem, founded in 1968 in a rented loft above a liquor store, will open its first purpose-built 82,000-square-foot building on West 125th Street this fall, following a landmark $300 million capital campaign led by director and chief curator Thelma Golden. Designed by Adjaye Associates with Cooper Robertson, the new facility doubles the exhibition and studio space and includes dedicated areas for performance, education, and public programs. The museum, which has operated without a permanent space since 2018, has been a pioneering platform for artists of African descent, launching the careers of figures like David Hammons, Kerry James Marshall, Glenn Ligon, and Simone Leigh through its groundbreaking exhibitions and artist-in-residence program.

Dennis Potter’s TV legacy gets a radical retelling at Studio Voltaire

English artist Hilary Lloyd has opened a new exhibition at Studio Voltaire in London titled 'Very High Frequency,' which reimagines the life and work of playwright and television dramatist Dennis Potter. Through a series of short films featuring Potter's collaborators, including actors Gina Bellman, Alison Steadman, Richard E Grant, and producer Kenith Trodd, Lloyd constructs a theatrical biography that explores Potter's enduring influence. The exhibition eschews traditional formats, scattering monitors and screens in unexpected locations to mirror Potter's own blending of reality and fantasy, and incorporates footage from his iconic works such as 'The Singing Detective' and 'Pennies from Heaven.'
