The Interview: Thelma Golden

Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, is interviewed ahead of the museum's reopening in a new Adjaye Associates-designed building following a $300 million capital campaign. Golden reflects on her career, including curating the politically charged 1993 Whitney Biennial and the landmark exhibition "Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art" (1994–95), as well as her influential 2001 show "Freestyle," which introduced the concept of "post-Black" art. The article also highlights the museum's first exhibition in the new building, focusing on artist Tom Lloyd, whose work was featured in the museum's inaugural show in 1968.
