GREENSBURG, PA (AAPNW) – Currently on view through Sunday, February 5, 2023, “Gavin Benjamin: Break Down and Let It All Out” is a new contemporary series in the historic Paneled Rooms at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. The exhibition acknowledges the past, visualizes possibilities for the present and gestures to a more equitable future.
The exhibit combines the installation of a domestic space owned by a fictional Black family for nearly 250 years with psychologically rich portraits of local community members. Benjamin, born in Guyana, South America, and raised in Brooklyn, New York, makes work that reimagines the genre and traditions of portraiture.
