Pace University Art Gallery is delighted to be participating in After Hours with the debut solo exhibition in New York City of renowned artist La Vaughn Belle, titled For the Love of Fragile Things.
“I make work about fragile things, like memory and history and what it means to be human in spaces like the one I was born into: an island space, a Black space, a colonized space,” Belle says. “A space teeming with the beauty of tropical splendor and soaked in the violence of colonial ruin.”
This exhibition and the preceding artist residency are part of Pace University's Islands, Archipelagos, and Cultural Ecologies project, funded by the Mellon Foundation, which brings together interdisciplinary studies of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, and New York City's 42 islands.
