Lecture | “The Revolution Is Here”: Tom Lloyd, Black Art Study, and Configuring the Museum (online)

Tuesday, December 6, 2022, 6:00 pm

Free

In January 1969, the electronic light sculptor Tom Lloyd became a founding member of the Art Workers’ Coalition, a group of artists and critics who pressured New York’s mainstream museums to be more inclusive in the range of artists they exhibited and collected. This talk examines Lloyd’s labors within and beyond the group.

Speaker Krista Thompson will focus on Lloyd’s use of Black Art Study, his engagement with study as a site, tactic, and medium to center Black and Puerto Rican art and revolutionize museums. Art historical considerations of information and research-based art and social practice may be expanded by exploring Lloyd’s (and that of his collaborator, Faith Ringgold) use of polls and surveys, his efforts to start a center devoted to Black and Puerto Rican art at the Museum of Modern Art, and his design of neighborhood Illuminated Sound Environments, which were attentive to the aesthetics of Black life.
