We Are the Revolution: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation

Aug 26–Dec 1

An anchor event for Converge 45’s citywide 2023 biennial, Social Forms: Art As Global Citizenship, the exhibition WE ARE THE REVOLUTION plumbs the depth of commitment of Jordan Schnitzer to the art of his time, while tapping into a living history of social expression through art in diverse media—from monumental paintings to free-standing sculpture to works on paper. Designed in part to explore ways in which the art of the past meets and affects the art of the present, the exhibition gives voice to art as both aesthetic experimentation and social commentary from the 1960s to today. Driven by the conviction that history is constructed through both continuity and discontinuity, the exhibition strives to establish unexpected juxtapositions and revealing connections among historical and contemporary artists and artworks.

WE ARE THE REVOLUTION is co-curated by William Morrow, Director of Exhibitions, Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, and Converge 45 Guest Curator Christian Viveros-Fauné. It includes work by, among other artists, Derrick Adams, Polly Apfelbaum, John Buck, Joseph Beuys, Robert Colescott, Joe Feddersen, Charles Gaines, Ellen Gallagher, Vanessa German, Jenny Holzer, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Titus Kaphar, James Lavadour, Dinh Q.
