Justin Sterling Reviews Nari Ward's Exhibition at New Museum Featuring 'We the People' and 'Ground (In Progress)'

Justin Sterling reviewed an exhibition of Nari Ward's work at the New Museum, featuring three specific installations. The show included Ward's 2011 piece "We the People" and two works from 2015: "Ground (In Progress)" and "Breathing Panel: Oriented Center." Photographic documentation of the installation was provided by Maris Hutchinson of EPW Studio, with images courtesy of the New Museum. The review was published on May 5, 2019, on the artcritical website, which operates on WordPress. The exhibition showcased Ward's mixed-media installations that incorporate found objects and address themes of community, identity, and social justice. Ward's practice often transforms everyday materials into powerful commentaries on American society. The New Museum's presentation highlighted his ability to create immersive environments that engage viewers physically and conceptually. Sterling's analysis appeared in the context of artcritical's ongoing coverage of contemporary art exhibitions.
