Fred Wilson: Reflections

“Fred Wilson: Reflections” is the artist’s first museum survey in over a decade, showcasing his influential practice of reframing cultural narratives to expose hidden biases and challenge assumptions about history, race, and identity. The exhibition features his evocative black-and-white Murano glass chandeliers and mirrors, flag-inspired paintings addressing the African diaspora, and the debut of “Black Now!”, a large-scale conceptual installation of found objects exploring Blackness as both color and concept.

Through beauty, symbolism, and critical reflection, Wilson invites viewers to reconsider cultural memory, colonial legacies, and the invisible forces that shape our understanding of the world.

At Brandeis University’s Rose Art Museum in the Lois Foster Wing through January 4, 2026.

This exhibition is supported in part by Pace Gallery.
