Conceptual artist Jacolby Satterwhite creates epic imagined worlds using digital animation, virtual reality, sculpture, choreography, and performance, dubbed “wildly ingenious” by The New Yorker. He draws on the visual language of video games, Afrofuturism, queer theory, and his own familial archive to create moving image installations that explore issues of labor, sexuality, and fantasy.
Last year, The New York Times named Satterwhite’s exhibition We Are in Hell When We Hurt Each Other one of the defining moments in art in 2020. The show brought together works in a variety of artistic media that explored modes of political resistance in a post-pandemic world.
Often working between art and pop culture, Satterwhite was celebrated for his 2019 collaboration with musician Solange on her visual album, When I Get Home.
Satterwhite joins Hirshhorn associate curator Marina Isgro for a look into the personal stories, artistic references, and critical perspectives behind the artist’s dizzyingly rich moving image installations.
Jacolby Satterwhite’s Birds in Paradise (2019) was recently approved for acquisition into the Hirshhorn’s permanent collection by the Museum’s Board of Trustees.
