August Taught Us… Exhibition

Claude Worthington Benedum Gallery, 2nd floor

Renowned visual artist and cultural agitator DS Kinsel will unveil new work created as part of the August Wilson Archive Community Artist-Scholar Award program sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Library System.

The exhibition presents powerful artifacts created by Kinsel inspired by the life and legacy of August Wilson. Across the paintings and collages, Kinsel merges icons from his own archive with copies of rare documents, photographs, and production materials from the August Wilson Archive, held by the Pitt Library System’s Archives & Special Collections. The exhibition provides an abstract visual report on the vast universe created by Wilson’s American Century Cycle.
