The American debut of 'The Time Is Always Now' is well-suited to Philadelphia, a city with strong artistic Black heritage and Black population of about 45%.
“The Time Is Always Now,” as a collection of works about the Black figure by Black artists, is notable for its scope and artistic content alone. But this exhibition has a special immediacy., a noted Ghana-born and U.K.-based writer and curator, said these works, though very different, were selected because they all represent various aspects of what he sees as a particular shift in contemporary Black figurative art by Black artists.
“Our Aliveness,” he said, “is an assertion of Blackness as a way of being, as a way of possibility, a way of kinship, a way of sharing resistance.”Now” is well-suited to Philadelphia, a city with strong artistic Black heritage and a Black population of about 39%. It’s also a major event for the city’s biggest museum, according to the show’s Philadelphia curator, Erica F. Battle, the PMA’s John Alchin and Hal Marryatt Curator of Contemporary Art.
“Visitors from Philadelphia and all over will encounter a new energy at PMA in this expanded version of the exhibition,” according to a statement from the local curator. “We are excited to see what kinds of conversations their work will inspire.”
