The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents "Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers," the artist's largest exhibition to date and his first major museum survey in over a decade. The show brings together nearly ninety works spanning Johnson's career, including painting, sculpture, film, installation, a site-specific piece, an outdoor sculpture, and live performances. Co-curated by Naomi Beckwith of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Andrea Karnes of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the exhibition takes its title from a poem by Amiri Baraka and explores themes of race, masculinity, empathy, self-care, family, and emotional life.

The analysis centers on how domestic objects, such as a zebra-print carver chair and various African artifacts, transitioned from private household items to iconic symbols of Black Power and cultural nationalism in the public sphere.
