- MTV and the Hirshhorn’s Artist Competition TV...by Francesca Aton on 03/25/2023 at 1:30 am
"The story is always the key ingredient to make any artwork great,” advises Hirshhorn director Melissa Chiu.
![Who gets to be abstract? In the 1960s, abstraction was often presumed to be the preserve of white artists with silver-spoon upbringings.
In 1969, when British Guyanese artist Frank Bowling was invited to curate an exhibition of works by Black artists at Stony Brook University, he showcased artists who lamented the reigning expectation that Black artists should produce overtly political, figurative work.
The resulting show, “5+1” included works by Bowling, Melvin Edwards, Daniel LaRue Johnson, Al Loving, Jack Whitten, and William T. Williams, at a time when major institutions were just beginning to work with Black artists.
More than 50 years later, the Paul W. Zuccaire gallery at Stony Brook offers a second look at the historic show in “Revisiting 5+1.”
Curated by professors and PhD candidates, the exhibition brings together works from the 1960s and ’70s by the original artists, as well as their Black female contemporaries, in a section curated by Howardena Pindell.
While historically important and exciting for its doubling of Bowling’s ambition,” Jasmine Liu writes in a review, the show “also feels disconnected. Men and women are separated, and there is little discussion of how the original participants and newly included artists influenced and critiqued each other.”
"Revisiting 5+1 is on view through March 31. Relatedly, "Frank Bowling’s Americas" is on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston through April 9.
