Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons Works Featured at the Frist Art Museum

The Frist Art Museum presentsMaría Magdalena Campos-Pons: Behold, a sweeping exhibition of photography, installation, video, painting, and performance spanning the nearly four-decade career of the Cuban-born artist who now lives and works in Nashville. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum and the J. Paul Getty Museum, the exhibition will be on view at the Frist from September 27, 2024, through January 5, 2025.

The first survey of Campos-Pons’s work since 2007, Behold brings together career highlights and new works, along with a multimedia series on view for the first time in the U.S. In more than 50 richly layered artworks, sketchbooks, and documented performances, the artist draws on her memories and experiences as well as her family’s story to examine the histories of enslavement, indentured labor, motherhood, migration, and race. The exhibition audio guide will feature Campos-Pons speaking about selected works.
