The exhibition features a site-specific commission of wallpaper by the artist Merryn Omotayo Alaka, specifically designed to complement the works and exhibition space.
Organized by Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and guest-curated by Allison Glenn, senior curator New York’s Public Art Fund. Support provided by Signature Partner Charles Schwab and Supporting Partners Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management and Valdes Group of Merrill Private Wealth.
