Professor of the practice Beverly McIver’s solo exhibition, Beverly McIver: Entangled, opened at the Berry Campbell Gallery in New York on October 17 and ran through November 16, 2024. This is McIver’s first exhibition there since the gallery began representing her last year.
Entangled is comprised of eighteen recent paintings created in the artist’s North Carolina studio with subjects ranging from reflective self-portraits that capture her emotional ebbs and flows of the past year, to portraits of her family, friends, and neighbors, including tributes to her mentors, Faith Ringgold and Philip Pearlstein.
The exhibition coincides with McIver’s involvement in People for the American Way’s Artists for Democracy project, in which McIver worked alongside other renowned contemporary artists including Carrie Mae Weems, Jeffrey Gibson, Jenny Holzer, Shepard Fairey, and Titus Kaphar to promote voter mobilization through art in advance of the 2024 presidential election.
The forthcoming exhibition catalogue contains an essay by Paul B. Jaskot, Art, Art History & Visual Studies professor and chair.
