February 25 @ 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM PST
Join us for a curator and artist talk in celebration of MoAD’s current exhibition JOESAM.: Text Messages. Curator Erin Jenoa Gilbert will moderate a dialogue with artists JoeSam., Dewey Crumpler, and Oliver Lee Jackson.
Born in Harlem in 1938, JoeSam. is a self-taught, contemporary, mixed media painter and installation artist who has been making work for four decades in San Francisco. In this first Bay Area museum exhibition of the 84-year-old artist’s work, guest curator Erin Jenoa Gilbert, well-known for her careful scholarship and dedication to bringing forth unsung Black artists, has selected 20 mixed media paintings from key series produced between 1985 and 2020 to draw attention to JoeSam.’s experiments in text and abstraction, his activism, and his enduring love for the Bay Area in his work and life.
