| Description | Reception: Tuesday, Jan. 19, 5-8pm Jacob Lawrence Gallery hours are Tue-Fri, 10am-5pm, and Sat, 1-5pm.
In honor of the Jacob Lawrence Gallery’s namesake, the 2016 Jake Legacy Artist-in-Residence is Brooklyn-based Steffani Jemison. Jemison is a conceptual artist whose work uses improvisation, repetition, and fugitivity as formal strategies across multiple media. Beginning on January 4, Jemison will work in the Gallery for two weeks to create Steffani Jemison: Sol, an exhibition that features paintings on acetate, a vinyl text work, and a slide projection. To build the exhibition, Jemison will work with student interns and Gallery volunteers.The work in the gallery is accompanied by reading and performance workshops co-facilitated by her collaborator, Justin Hicks and presented on site.
