newyorker:

The idea for “Tête-à-Tête,” a new show of works by African and African-American artists, curated by the artist Mickalene Thomas, has its roots in an event at MOMA called “Conversations: Among Friends,” which Thomas participated in alongside the artists Derrick Adams, Xaviera Simmons, and Clifford Owens. “I wanted to bring this discussion to a visual platform and space,” Thomas told me. “A ’tête-à-tête’ is one-on-one conversation between two people, back and forth. This type of call and response is the title and subject of the exhibition.” Click-through for a selection of the work, which is on view at Yancey Richardson Gallery through August 31st: http://nyr.kr/MAWByL
