About This Event
A sustained becoming presents artists in residence Simonette Quamina, Taylor Simmons, and Derriann Pharr at The Studio Museum in Harlem. The lineup pairs Quamina’s use of form and repetition with Pharr’s emphasis on structure and careful pacing—approaches that treat the gallery as a place where movement and looking carry equal weight—alongside Taylor Simmons, an actor known for film and television.
About A sustained becoming: Studio Museum Artists in Residence 2026
Now at The Studio Museum in Harlem, *A sustained becoming: Studio Museum Artists in Residence 2026* presents work by Simonette Quamina, Taylor Simmons, and Derriann Pharr under the museum’s long-running residency program. The exhibition tracks process as much as outcome, showing how research, material decisions, and community context shape what reaches the wall. In New York, where the residency has helped define Harlem’s contemporary art ecosystem, this installment reads as both snapshot and record of institutional continuity. The most persuasive moments are the ones that leave revision visible rather than smoothing it over.
