The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to present Courage Before Expectation, a group exhibition curated by former NFL linebacker turned art patron Keith Rivers, on view March 12-June 4, 2022, on the 9th floor. Inspired by quotes that intersect Rivers’s life in sports and his love of contemporary art, the exhibition explores the pursuit of dreams and unlikely trajectories, and includes Etel Adnan, Mark Bradford, Sonia Gomes, Philip Guston, Carmen Herrera, On Kawara, Kerry James Marshall, Thaddeus Mosley, and Laura Owens.

The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to present Peter Uka: Remembrance, the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York, on view March 12-June 4, 2022, on the 10th floor. Born in 1975 in Nigeria’s Benue State and based in Cologne, Germany, Uka paints large-scale portraits and group scenes that draw inspiration from childhood memories, including 70s-era fashion and hairstyles, wallpaper patterns, and dance moves. Elucidating the richness and joyfulness in both the solitary and shared moments of Black life, the artist offers a counternarrative to outmoded perceptions of both his home country and non-Western culture at large. A text by artist and curator Folakunle Oshun will accompany the exhibition.

A monumental sculpture by acclaimed artist Simone Leigh has been installed at the corner of 34th and Walnut Streets, the gateway to College Green at the University of Pennsylvania. Penn’s edition was a gift from New York City alumni couple Glenn and Amanda Fuhrman.

It is the first large-scale piece in the artist’s Anatomy of Architecture series that merges human form with diverse architectural elements. Cast in bronze, the work stands 16 feet high, 9 feet in diameter at its base, and weighs 5,900 pounds.

The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to present Mystic Parallax, a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Awol Erizku, on view September 26-November 14, 2020, on the 9th floor. Erizku engages an Afrocentric perspective in a new body of photo-based works, sculpture, drawings made from incense smoke and ash, and a series of short films, which act as a counter-narrative to the historically westernized discourse on African and African American culture.
