Pass Carry Hold: Studio Museum Artists in Residence 2023–24 – Group Show

The Studio Museum in Harlem will present Pass Carry Hold: Studio Museum Artists in Residence 2023–24, the latest edition of its annual Artist-in-Residence exhibition, from September 26, 2024, through February 10, 2025, at MoMA PS1. Featuring new work by artists sonia louise davis, Malcolm Peacock, and Zoë Pulley, the 2023–24 cohort of the Studio Museum’s foundational residency program, this exhibition is the sixth presentation as part of a multiyear collaboration between the Studio Museum in Harlem, The Museum of Modern Art, and MoMA PS1.

Exploring cycles of transition and transfer, the artists in Pass Carry Hold reference how ancestral and intuitive knowledge are activated through that which is passed on, carried forward, and held onto. With practices spanning sound, textile, and installation, davis, Peacock, and Pulley engage sensorial modes of making. Here, materials serve as both symbol and method. Family photographs, hand-braided hair, and soundscapes call attention to daily practices of caring for others through record-keeping and storytelling traditions. As much about process as finished objects, the works on view reveal the traces of their becoming. Through methods of sewing, embroidery, braiding, and tufting, the artists query how forms of quotidian labor, which often function to fulfill basic needs, can also serve as acts of care and creative expression. In Pass Carry Hold, these artists pose that time itself is a material; its mark on the work, however undefined, is an invitation to slow down, bear witness, and stay a while.
