What separates a prison and an art gallery? The two share more than you might expect. Concrete floors, blank walls, open rooms and a home for artist Purvis Young’s multimedia works. Young was born in 1943 in Overtown, Florida, an epicenter of African-American entertainment in Miami and a former designated black neighborhood in the segregated.
MoCA (the Museum of Contemporary Art)Westport hosts German artist Anselm Reyle’s works in their newest exhibition, Rainbow in the Dark, from March 19 to May 28. The artist manipulates neon and other metals to create his brutalist art style, which hasn’t been seen in America since 2009. The collection was curated by cultural critic Emann.
