Please join us this Friday the 3rd, 6–8 PM, for a pop-up exhibition “Negative Space” from our current artist resident Lamar Robillard! This exhibition will be a sojourn moment of Robillard’s over-ten-year photography archive with a juxtaposition presentation of negatives and contact sheets.

Lamar J. Robillard (b. 1991, New York) is a conceptual artist, photographer, and filmmaker working primarily with visual familiarity and found objects. Lamar’s practice is an act of resistance that takes a multidisciplinary approach to examining visibility, nonconformity and spirituality as it relates to identity, Black material culture and the self-
coined “Unfavored American” experience. Inspired by various forms of literature, media, representation and history, he aims to insert his theory of second class citizenship into the canon through a lifelong exploration of the Unfavoured American experience while simultaneously providing authentic representation for Blackness with the absence of the Black body politic.

Robillard has exhibited in Efa Project Space, Swivel Gallery, Collision Gallery, HAUSEN, Hangar Artist Research Center, Heath Gallery, The Long Gallery, Cleo The project Space, Gene Siskel Theatre, Art Port Kingston, Bed Stuy Art House, and Shim Gallery.
