Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers
Exhibition Catalogue
March 8, 2026 - September 27, 2026
Tracing Johnson’s trajectory from his early experiments in photography and video to his recent materially complex paintings and assemblages, A Poem for Deep Thinkers engages art history, philosophy, and Black popular culture as frameworks for exploring the human psyche. The exhibition reflects on themes of history, identity, masculinity, parenthood, and self-care, underscoring Johnson’s role as both an interpreter of art history and a shaper of contemporary culture.
This exhibition brings together nearly 90 works, including black-soap paintings, spray-painted text pieces, monumental sculptures, film, and video. Highlights include a site-specific installation, an outdoor sculpture, and two works activated through live performance.
