LISTEN! 'Young, Gifted and Black' editor and co-curator Antwaun Sargent speaks with Alison Stewart of WNYC's 'All of It,' discussing the new book and traveling exhibition based on the Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art.⠀ ⠀ Sargent discusses working with mission-driven collector Bernard Lumpkin, "collecting community," and the importance of showing up and supporting both institutions and young artists of color.⠀ ⠀ He calls the ethos of the collection "highly optimistic," and cites its roots in history, starting with artists like Kerry James Marshall, Henry Taylor, Lorna Simpson, Glenn Ligon and others. ⠀ ⠀ Sargent says 'Young, Gifted and Black' points to a path that is rich, that we often don't acknowledge. "These are very young artists who have full careers ahead of them." ⠀ ⠀ Hear the entire conversation, including discussion of the various writers and artists involved in the book, institutional responsibility, preservation of neglected works, current events, and much more, via linkinbio.⠀ ⠀ @younggiftedblackart @sirsargent @allofitwnyc @iamalisonstewart @grahamboettcher @teacherbell @conniehchoi @grahamrecently @loh33 @jamillahjames @thomaslax #HallieRingle #AdezeWilford @gordonwilkins @complicatedobjects @bernardlumpkin @thelmagolden #younggiftedandblack #bernardlumpkin #lumpkinboccuzzicollection⠀⠀ @vajiajia @hannahgottliebgraham @wnyc @allofitwnyc⠀ ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CE66e24JdFW/?igshid=tb354ijbxgoc
