March 4
Ten Five In The Grass: A Field Guide to Kevin Jerome Everson (TRT 88 min).
The work of artist Kevin Jerome Everson evinces a singular vision across a broad swath of American life. Often focusing on the physical and material contours of labor, Everson exercises a commensurately keen eye on competitive sport, depicting the athlete in frequently unceremonious - yet no less dignified states of practice.
The work of Kevin Jerome Everson (b. 1965, Mansfield, Ohio; lives and works in Charlottesville, VA) has been the subject of mid-career retrospectives and solo exhibitions at The Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Modern, Cinema du Reel, and Centre Pompidou, among others. He has screened his films at international film festivals and museums including Sundance, Toronto, NYFF, Berlinale, Rotterdam, Black Star, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington D.C. His films have been featured at the 2008, 2012 and 2017 Whitney Biennial, the 2013 Sharjah Biennial, the 2018 Carnegie International and the 2023 Contour Biennale.
