This spring, MoMA PS1 presents the first museum exhibition of interdisciplinary artist Sandra Poulson (Angolan, b. 1995), including a newly commissioned large-scale installation. Poulson’s sculptural practice takes an archaeological approach to Angolan symbols, codes, and cultural objects to untangle histories, oral traditions, and global political structures. Turning her attention to vernacular garments and domestic furniture, Poulson explores the multiplicity of daily life and customs in her hometown Luanda—using a variety of materials often found in Angolan markets and homes including discarded cardboard, textile waste, concrete, advertisements, and film. Troubling contemporary discourse around “the Global South,” Poulson’s sculptures and installation shed new light on the transnational circulation of images and material culture.
The exhibition is organized by Elena Ketelsen González, Assistant Curator, MoMA PS1.
