Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts is a documentary by Breakaway Films, about a self-taught artist born into slavery in 1854 on an Alabama plantation. During the height of the Great Depression, in his 80's—homeless, jobless, and alone—Traylor began to draw on discarded pieces of cardboard, becoming a chronicler of his time and place.

Exhibition. May 27–Jul 16, 2017. Projects 106: Martine Syms, the first US solo museum exhibition by Martine Syms (b. 1988, Los Angeles), is an immersive installation including photographs and staged objects, and centering around a new feature-length film, Incense Sweaters & Ice. Shot on location in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Clarksdale, Mississippi, Incense, Sweaters, and Ice follows three protagonists—Mrs. Queen Esther Bernetta White, Girl, and WB (“whiteboy”)—as they navigate dramas of surveillance, moving between watching, being watched, and remaining unseen. Accompanying the film is a suite of photographs sized to standard American movie posters and a metal mesh structure inspired by the geographies of the Great Migration. Using video and performance, Syms examines representations of blackness and its relationship to narrative, vernacular, feminist thought, and radical traditions. On the occasion of the exhibition, Syms will also premiere a new lecture-performance as part of MoMA’s educational programming. To access additional media from Incense Sweaters & Ice, download the artist's art app, wyd rn, developed by Brent David Freaney at Special—Offer.
