Described as the ‘third in a suite’ of survey shows (her 40-year career was pored over by the Barbican Art Gallery, London, last year, and then at Kunstmuseum Basel, in a show that closed in April), this year’s Remember to Dream, at Bard’s Hessel Museum of Art, New York, looked back on the politically engaged photographer via some of her lesser-known and rarely displayed works. Weems, who was awarded the US National Medal of Arts by the departing President Biden in October, also revisited The Kitchen Table, her 1990 series of images capturing a fictional drama featuring the artist herself amid scenes of Black American domestic life. She referenced the project in a commission for fashion brand Bottega Veneta, with a campaign showing rapper A$AP Rocky and his baby child sitting down for dinner. Two works from the original series were included in a tv advertisement for Kamala Harris, and Weems produced a billboard for the Democratic presidential candidate, as well as hosting a programme of readings, live music and food at New York’s Gladstone Gallery on election day.
