Black filmmaker, writer, actor, and musician Terence Nance’s first solo exhibition will shed light on his interdisciplinary film and media work, including Random Acts of Flyness—the Peabody Award-winning HBO series that examines contemporary Black life in America—and semi-animated feature film An Oversimplification of Her Beauty. Maori Karmael Holmes, artistic director and CEO of BlackStar Projects, will curate the installation of a decade of Nance’s work. Presented at the Institute of Contemporary Art, the exhibition will reflect Nance’s interdisciplinary style that comprises live-action film, animation, photography, sound, performance, and installation. A series of public programs will include performances, screenings, panels, and artist talks. An accompanying catalogue will feature texts from Nance and his collaborators and images from the installation works.
The total grant amount represents project funding plus an additional 20% in unrestricted general operating support.
