The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill presents “Another Justice: US Is Them,” curated by conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas and For Freedoms, the artist coalition founded by Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Michael Woo, and Wyatt Gallery.
The exhibition aims to increase creative civic engagement, discourse, and direct action, calling the community to reconsider what justice can be in a time of imbalance. It features nearly 30 works and series by contemporary artists Zoë Buckman, Pamela Council, Jeremy Dennis, Jeffrey Gibson, Eric Gottesman, Christine Sun Kim, Muna Malik, Joiri Minaya, Koyoltzintli Miranda-Rivadeneria, Kambui Olujimi, Hank Willis Thomas, and Marie Watt.
Each work explores the concept of justice and what it means to the artists personally and collectively. Featured pieces include Buckman’s embroideries exploring joy as an antidote to violence against women, Minaya’s collaged photographs that address the colonial idealization of female bodies and landscape, Olujimi’s drawings of U.S. presidential assassins begging the question of who is empowered to render justice and on whose behalf, among others.
The exhibition will be on view from July 23 to November 6 in the Parrish galleries, outdoors on the Museum grounds, and as digital billboards on the Shinnecock Monuments on Sunrise Highway.
