Join us for a curator-led pup walk to celebrate the opening of Adrienne Elise Tarver: She who sits, the artist’s first solo public art exhibition. Assistant Curator Jenée Daria Strand will lead you and your four-legged companion on a tour of Tarver’s newest works for Public Art Fund, offering insights into this unique presentation of exhibition-making amidst the cityscape.
All dogs, regardless of size or age, are invited to join in the fun! Along with Woofbowl and WagWell, we’ll also offer giveaways and discounted treats. This is a wonderful opportunity to bond with other dog lovers and public art fans as you take a relaxed walk through New York City. Enjoy the art installations on JCDecaux bus shelters, share stories, exchange training tips, and make new friends along the way.
About the Artist
Adrienne Elise Tarver is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY with a practice that spans painting, sculpture, installation, photography, textiles, and video. Her work addresses the complexity and invisibility of Black female identity including the history within domestic spaces, the fantasy of the tropical seductress, and the archetype of the all-knowing spiritual matriarch. She who sits is Tarver’s first solo public art exhibition and features six new works that continue her exploration of the centrality of the Black matriarch.
