Examining a critical moment at the junction of abstract art, racial and gender politics, and student activism at Stony Brook University, Revisiting 5+1 presented art and archival material from the historic 1969 exhibition of abstract art 5+1. The 2022-23 exhibition featured works by the original artists (Frank Bowling, Mel Edwards, Daniel LaRue Johnson, Al Loving, Jack Whitten, and William T. Williams) alongside documentation by Adger Cowans, archival ephemera, and a new selection of major works by Black women working in abstraction.
