Kori Newkirk: 1997-2007

Kori Newkirk first came to national attention thanks to his contribution to the Studio Museum in Harlem's daring group show Freestyle: a mural of a police helicopter executed entirely in hair pomade. He's also known for his beaded-curtain pieces, which fuse the banal and the sensational. Now, the New York-born, LA-residing artist is the subject of a mid-career survey covering ten years of work. Organized by Thelma Golden for an earlier show at the SMH, the exhibition includes early examples of Newkirk's curtains, as well as his subsequent forays into mixed-media installation, photography, and video.
