Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration at MoMA PS1

"Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration" on view now through April 4, 2021 at MoMA PS1 in Queens

PS1 is taking an important look at the life of people in prisons and those no longer behind bars through their art that deals with issues of state repression, erasure, and imprisonment, as well as the COVID-19 crisis in U.S. prisons. Installations include Rorschach-like portraits of black Americans who were killed in police-involved shootings, a mural made of 39 prison-issued sheets at 40 feet long and 15 feet tall and more. The exhibition is a powerful exploration of the social and cultural impact of mass incarceration.
