The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York will be presenting a “major retrospective” of the work of artist and philosopher Adrian Piper next year, according to Culture Type.

Piper studied philosophy as an undergraduate at City College of New York and as a graduate student at Harvard, obtaining her PhD in 1981. She has written on moral philosophy, aesthetics, Kant, and rationality, among other topics. Readers may also be interested in her “Ten Commandments of Philosophical Writing.”

A press release from MoMA describes the upcoming exhibition, entitled “Adrian Piper: A Synthesis of Intuitions, 1965–2016”:

Comprising over 280 works gathered from public and private collections around the world, the exhibition, which will be seen in its entirety only at The Museum of Modern Art, will occupy the Museum’s entire sixth floor—the first time that entire level has been devoted to the work of a living artist. The retrospective will provide an in-depth review of the full range of Piper’s work in diverse mediums: works on paper, video, multimedia installation, performance, painting, sound, and photo/text-based graphics spanning over five decades

Culture Type writes:

As both an artist and philosopher, [Piper] has pressed audiences to reconsider longstanding assumptions about gender, race, identity, and class. Her intellectual explorations of the political, social, spiritual and psychological possibilities of conceptual art have prioritized personal subjectivity.

You can read more about her artwork, much of which “deals with issues of passing and racism,” here. 

The exhibit at MoMA will run from March 31 to July 22, 2018.
