Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams

Cecilia Wichmann, associate curator of contemporary art, Baltimore Museum of Art

Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams, is a 50-year career retrospective of artist Joyce J. Scott, one of the most significant artists of our time. Co-organized by the BMA and Seattle Art Museum (SAM), this exhibition was developed in close dialogue with the Baltimore-based artist and her collaborators to reveal the full breadth of Scott’s singular vision through more than 120 objects from public and private collections across the United States. The exhibition will feature significant examples of the artist’s sculpture - both stand-alone and wearable pieces - alongside a new installation and performance footage, garments, prints, and materials from Scott’s personal archive.

Joyce J. Scott comes from a long line of makers in her family who created beautiful, functional objects in their quest for freedom out of slavery, sharecropping, migration, and segregation. A companion exhibition of Scott’s mother’s work, Eyewinkers, Tumbleturds, and Candlebugs: The Art of Elizabeth Talford Scott will be presented at the BMA.
