Carrie Mae Weems: The Evidence of Things Not Seen, Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart 2 April–10 July
The title of Carrie Mae Weems’ solo exhibition, The Evidence of Things Not Seen, takes its name from the 1985 book-length essay by James Baldwin. This retrospective is the first extensive presentation in Germany of the work of the contemporary American artist, who has investigated
race, cultural identity, sexism, class and power over the last three decades. Featuring photographic series, videos and installations, the show will also feature a new photo series titled Monuments, a pertinent project that explores the colonialist implications of public commemoration.
