Adam Pendleton's highly anticipated Fall 2021 exhibition, 'Who Is Queen?,' opens @themuseumofmodernart September 18, and we are delighted to see this feature @nytimes with a preview not only of the show, but the 'Who Is Queen? Reader' (forthcoming in October) — "a sourcebook reader that has been produced "in lieu of a catalog, explaining some of the artist’s many inspirations." Published to accompany Pendleton's installation at MoMA, this reader serves as a primer and handbook to the exhibition and features a number of photocopied textual and visual sources, many of which directly relate to the concept, content and programming of the exhibition. The project questions the notion of the museum as repository and addresses the influence that mass movements, including those of the last decade such as Black Lives Matter and Occupy, could have on the exhibition as form. Drawing on the work of figures as disparate as Glenn Gould, Michael Hardt and Ruby Sales, 'Who Is Queen?' seeks to explore the nexus of abstraction and politics.
