Art is better in person there, I said it. While it’s wonderful that museums and galleries have made art more accessible through their online exhibitions during the pandemic, it just isn’t the same as viewing it up close and personal.

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.
