Rashid Johnson is a New York based artist who composes searing meditations on race and class while establishing an organic formal vocabulary that fuses a variety of sculptural and painterly traditions. The breadth and generosity of his vision has resulted in a wide range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects, installations, videos, and performances. In 2021, Creative Time commissioned Johnson’s Red Stage, a month-long public invitation to experiment and create on an alarm red stage sited in Astor Place.
