Artbook @ MoMA PS1 presents Antwaun Sargent and Jacolby Satterwhite in conversation for the east coast virtual launch of 'Young, Gifted and Black'

Tuesday, October 20 at 7PM EST, Artbook @ MoMA PS1 invites you to the east coast virtual launch of Young, Gifted and Black: A New Generation of Artists, The Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art. Editor Antwaun Sargent will be in conversation with artist Jacolby Satterwhite to celebrate the launch of this highly anticipated publication. Please register here and email booksmomaps1@artbook.com to pre-order a copy of the book signed by Antwaun Sargent.

Young, Gifted and Black surveys the work of a new generation of Black artists, and also features the voices of a diverse group of curators who are on the cutting edge of contemporary art. As mission-driven collectors, Bernard I. Lumpkin and Carmine D. Boccuzzi have championed emerging artists of African descent through museum loans and institutional support. But there has never been an opportunity to consider their acclaimed collection as a whole until now. More information here.

Antwaun Sargent is a writer and critic living in New York. He has contributed articles to the New York Times, Vogue, The New Yorker, the New York Review of Books and various essays to gallery and museum publications. He has curated exhibitions at Aperture Foundation and Jenkins Johnson Projects. He recently published his first book, The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion, with Aperture.

Jacolby Satterwhite is known for a conceptual practice addressing crucial themes of labor, consumption, carnality, and fantasy through immersive installations, virtual reality, and digital media. Satterwhite draws from an extensive set of references, guided by queer theory, modernism, and video game language to challenge conventions of Western art through a personal and political lens. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki; Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among others.
