"One way to talk about art is to talk about drumming. Percussive polyrhythms and percussive ensembles provide a framework for thinking about aesthetic, expressive, political, and curatorial forms more broadly," Anthony Huberman says.

Recent projects include solo shows of newly commissioned work by Lydia Ourahmane, Vincent Fecteau, Adam Linder, Diamond Stingily, and Laura Owens, among others, as well as long-term research programs with Cecilia Vicuña, David Hammons, Dodie Bellamy, Seth Price, and Joan Jonas.
