On June 16 in New York City, multidisciplinary artist Maren Hassinger welcomed her 71st birthday with cake—and an installation of eight of her site-specific sculptures in the 20-acre Marcus Garvey Park. Titled “Maren Hassinger: Monuments,” the exhibition will be on view from June 16 to June 10, 2019, as part of an ongoinginitiative by the Studio Museum, a contemporary museum devoted to African American art.
The exhibition is part of an initiative called “inHarlem,” which launched in 2016 and aims to both make art more accessible and strengthen the museum’s ties within the community while its new building, designed by Adjaye Associates in collaboration with Cooper Robertson, is under construction. Located on the site of its existing building renovated by the late African American architect J. Max Bond Jr., the new design will feature dark monolithic volumes and sculptural facades.
