In preparation for the first career survey of the work of Ulysses Jenkins, the pioneering black performance and video artist who was a central figure in the Studio Z artist group, Meg Onli will undertake several research trips in California and New York, conduct interviews, and explore Jenkin’s archives. The curators will produce an accompanying publication and timeline that will chronicle Jenkins’ career trajectory.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
