Additional Details
Ebony G. Patterson is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans the mediums of installation, sculpture, video, performance and textiles. Her 2018 solo show, ...for those who bear/bare witness... at Monique Meloche Gallery, Chicago, uses her well-known densely layered and opulent hand-embellished jacquard tapestries as a call to action, entreating the viewer to acknowledge the violence and social injustices imposed upon the invisible and voiceless. According to the gallery's press release, "The titular wordplay - …for those who bear/bare witness… - implicates not only the viewer, who must acknowledge the content of Patterson's presentation, but also the anonymous victims memorialized by the works, whose bodies are disappeared, or laid bare."
Patterson has held solo exhibitions and projects at many US institutions including Baltimore Museum of Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Atlanta Center for Contemporary Art, and the New York Botanical Gardens. Her work is included in a number of public collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Brooklyn Museum, and she is a recipient of the 2024 MacArthur Fellowship.
