It’s an unusually rich show on the topic of the many different kinds of things we pass on to others. I’ve also done a 5-minute film about my piece in the show, Rivers, First Draft (1982), which is on the Whitney’s YouTube channel.” Kellen Gallery at Parsons The New School IN COMMON: NEW APPROACHES WITH ROMARE BEARDEN.
