The online exhibition ARCHIVING HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN?: Process Over Product was on view October 12 – November 25, 2020, presented by the New Media Artspace at Baruch College and generously sponsored by the Wasserman Jewish Studies Center. The exhibition has been archived online. Click here to view it.
The New Media Artspace presents Archiving HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN?: Process Over Product, an online exhibition that initiates a web-based digital archive of works by the collective HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN? (also known as the YAMS Collective). By emphasizing “process over product,” Archiving HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN? delves into the ongoing evolution of artworks in their collective making. The exhibition—which is being produced and conceived in a real-time collaboration with the New Media Artspace Student Docent Team and will evolve as the semester progresses—shows how both artworks and the archives they comprise are always negotiated in a constant flux of incompletion and reinvention.
The gallery is open to the public by appointment during regular library hours. Please contact newmediaartspace@gmail.com to arrange a visit.
