SCAD Museum of Art, 2018-2019

The SCAD Museum of Art presents From Me to Them to Me Again, an exhibition uniting two major works by Lorraine O’Grady: the single-channel video Landscape (Western Hemisphere) and her 2017 haiku diptychs, Cutting Out CONYT. Created by radically recombining panels from her earlier newspaper-poem series, these works reflect O’Grady’s cyclical practice of revisiting and reframing her own art to reveal new meanings and to probe the evolving relationship between artist, institutions, and audience.

Lorraine O’Grady’s long engagement with the diptych comes into focus in her collage series Cutting Out CONYT (1977/2017), a radical distillation of her earliest work, Cutting Out the New York Times. Reworked into what she calls “haiku diptychs,” the series is featured in two solo exhibitions this fall—at Alexander Gray Associates in New York and at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah—as well as in her solo show at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
