Excerpt from the New York Times:
STUDIO MUSEUM IN HARLEM: ‘NADINE ROBINSON: ALLES GRAU,’ ‘QUID PRO QUO: RASHAWN GRIFFIN, KARYN OLIVIER AND CLIFFORD OWEN: 2005-06 ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE,’ AND ‘BEYOND SIGHT,’ through Oct. 22. The Studio Museum in Harlem is looking sharp with three concurrent shows, the outstanding one being a single big sound-sculpture by Nadine Robinson. It expands her political purview from imperialism to Armageddon with hundreds of speakers embedded in an 11-foot-high gray-black wall unit that generate a sampling of satanic film scores (“The Omen,” “The Matrix”), mixed with funeral chants and Rastafarian dance music. “Quid Pro Quo” is a showcase for the 2005-6 artists in residence, all interdisciplinarians with a sweet-and-sour Dadaist touch. Mr. Owens, with performance, looks intriguingly volatile; he will give a live performance at the museum tonight (9/15; reservations suggested). And you won’t want to leave the museum without checking out “Beyond Sight,” the work of the 14 teenage participants in the program called “Expanding the Walls: Making Connections Between Photography, History and Community,” 144 West 125th Street, (212) 864-4500, www.studiomuseuminharlem.org.
