Clyfford Still Museum explores competing desires in the new guest-curated exhibition, Held Impermanence, on view January–September By SANYA ANDERSEN-VIE
The Clyfford Still Museum (CSM)’s new guest- curated exhibition, Held Impermanence (Artists Select: Katherine Simóne Reynolds) , illuminates multiple competing desires held in constant tension within the Museum. Organized by award- winning filmmaker, artist, and curator Katherine Simóne Reynolds , the exhibition draws deeply on CSM’s collections. Reynolds is an artist, scholar, and curator who investigates emotional dialects and psychogeographies of Blackness within the Black Midwestern landscape. Her art physicalizes emotions and experiences through photo-based works, film, choreography, sculpture, and anxious writing practice. Reynolds has exhibited and performed work at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Luminary, and the Graham Foundation. She has exhibited
in national and international group and solo shows. She has spoken at the Contemporary Art Museum, the St. Louis Art Museum, and the Black Midwest Initiative at the University of Minnesota. She was also the 2022 fellow at the Graham Foundation. Alongside her visual art practice, she has embarked on curatorial projects at The Luminary, SculptureCenter, and exhibitions for Counterpublic 2023, the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art, and the Clyfford Still Museum. According to Reynolds, the Clyfford Still Museum collection testifies to Still’s ambitious attempt to keep his entire corpus intact. The commitment to the integrity of that body of work allows viewers to see not only the acclaimed masterpieces but also paintings made in painful transitions and others that bear the scars of time.
