About the Event
Multidisciplinary creative and past YoungArts guest artist Ralph Lemon presents two video works never before shown in the gallery context. Described by Lemon as “two wildly different but intersecting events,” Chorus (#2 Oculus) (2015) and Otha Turner’s Final Picnic (2002) each feature the cathartic joy and celebration of bodies moving together, positioning the films in conversation with the Open Artist Studios simultaneously on view in the YoungArts Gallery.
Presented in partnership with MoMA PS1, in conjunction with the exhibition Ceremonies Out of the Air: Ralph Lemon (on view at PS1 from November 14, 2024 through March 24, 2025).
