Description

Shortlisted for Aperture's 2024 PhotoBook Awards An artist's book by Grace Wales Bonner, featuring works in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Grace Wales Bonner: Dream in the Rhythm-Visions of Sound and Spirit in the MoMA Collection is an artist's book assembled by the acclaimed London-based designer Grace Wales Bonner as "an archive of soulful expression." Through an extraordinary selection of nearly 80 works from The Museum of Modern Art's collection and archives, this unique volume draws multisensory connections between pictures and poems, music and performance, hearing and touch, gestures and vibrations, and bodies in motion. Photographs, scores, and performance documentation by artists like Dawoud Bey, Mark Bradford, Roy DeCarava, Lee Friedlander, David Hammons, Glenn Ligon, Steve McQueen, Lorna Simpson, and Ming Smith, among others, are juxtaposed with signal texts by Black authors spanning the past century, including Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes, June Jordan, Robin Coste Lewis, Ishmael Reed, Greg Tate, Jean Toomer, Quincy Troupe, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Artist's Choice: Grace Wales Bonner-Spirit Movers, this resplendent publication is a deeply personal meditation on and around modern Black expression that echoes Wales Bonner's own vibrant, virtuosic designs.
