The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth will present "David-Jeremiah: The Fire This Time," a solo exhibition organized by guest curator Christopher Blay, running from August 17 to November 2, 2025. The show features new works by multidisciplinary conceptual artist David-Jeremiah, including the final polychromatic EE (Emma Esse) series of seven paintings, and continues his exploration of Black identity, humanity, and ritual through inverted-performance installations centered on the Lamborghini as a symbol of beauty and violence.
The exhibition extends the Modern's commitment to emerging artists and marks a significant moment for David-Jeremiah, who has recently received grants from the Nasher Sculpture Center and Red Bull Arts, and held solo shows at the Houston Museum of African American Culture and the Clark Art Institute. By situating his work in dialogue with masterworks from the permanent collection, the museum amplifies conversations about race, individuality, and conceptual art, reinforcing the artist's rising profile in the contemporary art world.
