Elia Alba: The Supper Club

January 25 - February 22,2019

"Elia Alba’s multifaceted project The Supper Club comprises fifty-eight portraits of contemporary artists of color and a series of salon-style dinners that serve to stimulate critical exchange and community. At these dinners, artists, art historians, critics, and curators bring issues to the table that facilitate timely discussions on race, ethnicity, gender, violence, homophobia, the AIDS pandemic, sanctuary, and safety. Initially envisioned as a short-term project, Alba organized three dinners with artists she had recently photographed. Since 2012, the artist has hosted twenty-eight dinners with close to four-hundred participants."
