Global Static: Angelbert Metoyer(in

collaboration with Charles Koolhass)On view through July 11, 2009

Metoyer's work, a combination of figurativedrawings and painted abstract images, islargely influenced by his Creole heritage.Along with paintings and drawings, the new

show will create a fully immersive hyper-sensory environment. This body of workattempts to collect, in one space, the residual"energy" or "static" of the world. GlobalStaticis a record of the world that samplesglobal conditions from places such as China,Dubai, Nigeria, US and Europe using a wide

range of mediums including painting, drawing,photography, sound, film, smell andassemblage. Collected together, these images,sounds and smells spontaneously start tocommunicate. They create one picture madeout of visual and non-visual forms. It is theartist's intent to transform the space into avehicle or reverse-teleportation. Metoyerhopes that this exhibition will allow theaudience to experience the world whileremaining still.

Collected. Propositions on thePermanent Collection presents fourteentakes on the permanent collection of theStudio Museum in Harlem. This set ofexhibitions, which includes over two hundredworks in a wide range of media, is intended togive multiple perspectives and views on the artof which this Museum is so proud to be the

guardian. While a chronological approachallows us to understand how art develops overtime and a thematic one helps us to see therelationships between artists, this set ofexhibitions takes, in some cases, idiosyncraticapproaches to investigating, presenting andanalyzing the works of art that the StudioMuseum in Harlem has collected over the lastforty years.

A native New Yorker, Verna Hart is well-qualified to be a gatekeeper of Black Americanculture. She was a student of Romare Beardenwho has collaborated with Spike Lee andsteeped herself in the Jazz tradition. Herexpressionistic style bears the direct influenceof Jazz: its syncopated rhythm, rich tonality,carefully crafted but seemingly carefreeharmony and most importantly, its ability to

From South Carolina, April Harrison is a self-

taught artist who believes she is merely a

vessel being utilized to instinctively createnarrative, sentiment and observation.Harrison paints images primarily in acrylics,powders, watercolors, pencils and collage.According to Harrison I find that working withthis unique palette offers faster drying times,enabling me to overlay color in one paintingsession, giving the work its tapestry-likebackground.
