For the first Thursday at PAMM this season, the museum will host Dawoud Bey in Conversation with Franklin Sirmans, part of the ongoing Scholl Lecture Series. On June 2, at 7pm, PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans and renowned photographer Dawoud Bey will hold a conversation centering around Bey’s projects from 2012 to 2021. Bey is known for his work engaging with African American history and situating it in the contemporary conversation, making clear how the past continues to inform and shape the present. Two of Bey’s photographs, Wallace Simmons and Eric Allums, Birmingham, AL, and Cabin and Palm Trees were recently acquired by the museum through the generous support of the PAMM Fund for Black Art.
Visitors to the museum this summer can beat the heat while browsing PAMM’s galleries featuring the ongoing exhibitions Marisol and Warhol Take New York, Marco Brambilla: Heaven’s Gate, and Zhivago Duncan: Pretentious Crap, and upcoming exhibitions by artists Carlos Cruz-Diez, Christo, Hélio Oiticica, and Mariano Rodríguez.
