In April 2021, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum will inaugurate Aldrich Projects, a single-artist series that spotlights a singular work or a focused body of work by an artist every four months on the Museum s campus. The first in this series is Clarity Haynes: Collective Transmission. Sited in the Leir Atrium, Haynes debuts two new paintings, Birth Altar, 2020–2021 (2021) and Altar for Femme Joy (2020), from her ongoing Altar series, 2000 . Haynes describes her Altars as queer feminist spaces liberated from patriarchy. She says: In a time of toxic masculinity and violence, to put forth joyful feminist principles feels radical. To create one s own archive, altar, cosmology, autonomous space is an act of taking care. Clarity Haynes: Collective Transmission will be on view at The Aldrich April 28 to September 6, 2021.
