Projects 110: Michael Armitage by Legacy Russell
Projects 110: Michael Armitage, the first U.S. solo museum exhibition by Michael Armitage, presents a group of eight paintings that, in the artist’s words, explore “parallel cultural histories.” These works are presented in Museum of Modern Art’s new building this October, as part of The Studio Museum in Harlem, MoMA, and MoMA PS1’s multiyear partnership built on the institutions’ existing affiliations and shared values. Nairobi-born Armitage received his BFA and MFA in London, at Slade School of Art and Royal Academy of Arts, respectively. Today, the artist travels between the two cities, and cites each as core to his creative practice. Studio Fall/Winter 2019–20
