Parrish Art Museum

NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE | In honor of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we are delighted to showcase three works by Shinnecock artists Jeremy Dennis, Courtney M. Leonard, and Herbert Randall, which are held in the Parrish Art Museum’s permanent collection. “Conscience Point” is part of photographer Jeremy Dennis’ ongoing “On This Site” project, which documents specific places with cultural significance to local Indigenous populations throughout Long Island. This photograph records the landing site of the earliest English colonists to Shinnecock territory in 1640. Courtney M. Leonard’s practice explores historical interconnections between water, marine life, and sustainability. In “Abundance (Blue),” the artist weaves lengths of clay into a ceramic sculpture reminiscent of fishing nets, a potential comment on the effects of fishing within our waters. Herbert Randall is a celebrated photographer who was an early member of the Black photography collective Kamoinge Workshop. Randall’s subjects have included the urban environment of New York, the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi, and the landscape surrounding the Shinnecock Indian Reservation.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a conversation with current FRESH PAINT artist Derrick Adams; writer and multidisciplinary artist Folasade Ologundudu, who was commissioned to write the essay that accompanies Adams’s work, and Parrish Executive Director Mónica Ramírez-Montagut. The discussion was compelling in its exploration of art, identity, and representation, providing insight into Adams’s inspiration for Getting the Bag (2024), and Ologundudu’s remarkable examination of the work and its deeper meaning. We hope you will visit the Museum to experience Adams’s work and read a copy of the essay first-hand! The Parrish is grateful to the FLAG Art Foundation for their continued support and generous collaboration on the Museum’s FRESH PAINT series. Getting the Bag (2024) by Derrick Adams is on view now through January 5, 2025. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/g9xYQCP6 Photos by Lisa Tamburini.
