Mickalene Thomas’ Better Nights is an immersive art experience at the Bass Museum of Art. This was another exhibition I was lucky enough to visit on the day of the opening.
Inspired by a polaroid of her mother from the 1980s, this exhibition feels like time travel from the 1970s/80s through to modernity or the future.
Each room with its artwork gives a specific feel: nostalgic, textured, and rich with meaning. The number of artists shown as part of this show, the diversity of the works and the various spaces and media make this a remarkable exhibition.
Wow – thanks so much for your kind words! Feels like I put this stuff out there and I never really know if it gets read/used. Delighted to know you enjoyed it. Keep in mind my post on the Louvre in case you ever go to Paris 😉
