Art Talk: Ebony G. Patterson and LeRonn P. Brooks • Pérez Art Museum Miami

Join us to celebrate Ebony G. Patterson and the opening of her most significant presentation of work to date as she speaks in conversation with LeRonn P. Brooks, PhD and PAMM Chief Curator Tobias Ostrander.

A collage featuring various flowers and plants with a formally dressed figure in a suit — Ebony G. Patterson. . . . a wailing black horse . . . for those who bear/bare witness, 2018 (detail). Hand cut jacquard photo tapestry with glitter, appliques, pins, embellishments, fabric, tassels, brooches, acrylic, glass pearls, beads, hand cast embellished heliconias, shelf, embellished resin owl, and artist-designed fabric wallpaper (not pictured).

The panel will discuss how Patterson’s work investigates forms of embellishment as they relate to youth culture within disenfranchised communities and break down themes of violence, masculinity, visibility and invisibility within black youth culture globally. Ebony G. Patterson . . . while the dew is still on the roses . . . includes work Patterson has produced over the past five years, embedded within a new installation environment that references a night garden. Patterson’s work will be on view through May 5, 2019.
