Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began
About the Exhibition
Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began is the artist's first major museum exhibition in Los Angeles, inviting viewers into immersive multisensory installations. Introducing more than 20 new works including the artist's most expansive neon piece and one of his largest sculptures to-date, this multi-sensory exhibition spotlights Strachan's excavation of histories that have been rendered invisible within mainstream narratives, particularly in relation to the Black diaspora. Each exhibition room presents a distinct environment, from uncanny everyday spaces such as a barbershop and laundromat to a field of Indian Rice Grass populated with ceramic figures to a gallery of monumental bronze sculptures. Weaving together sculpture, painting, text, and music, the exhibition transports visitors to unique environments ranging from uncanny everyday spaces to surreal landscapes, inviting audiences to rethink the ways in which we represent and discuss history.
