DAWN BLACK
INCITEMENTS OF FOLLY
September 29 – November 13, 2016
1315 MASS MoCA Way, North Adams, MA
Incitements of Folly, a new exhibition of socially poignant paintings by Baton Rouge artist, Dawn Black. The exhibition takes a candid look at the personifications of “folly” within the broader context of Black’s primary themes: dynamics and imbalances of power; the constructs of identity and self awareness; and, depictions of the socially absurd. This exhibition marks the artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, and features four newly completed paintings paired with a selection of earlier, seminal works, including examples of her powerful Conceal Project series.
