Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to introduce our new artist-centric newsletter IN FOCUS, where we'll take the time to delve deeply into one artist on the MGG roster at a time. Aiming to show a fuller picture of the breadth of our artists' careers, we will feature our favorite stories, podcasts, interviews, and videos from the archive, as well as new and upcoming projects.
Tavares Strachan, the latest addition to the Marian Goodman Gallery roster, was born in Nassau, Bahamas in 1979 and currently lives and works between New York City and Nassau. Aeronautics, astronomy, deep-sea exploration, and extreme climatology are but some of the thematic arenas out of which Strachan creates his monumental allegories that tell of cultural displacement, human aspiration, and mortal limitation. Strachan’s ambitious, open-ended practice has included collaborations with numerous organizations and institutions, including The Baltimore Museum of Art, Prospect 3. New Orleans, La Biennale de Lyon, and The MIT List Visual Arts Center, among others.
Follow along as we continue to explore Tavares Strachan's ever-evolving body of work. ↓
