SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Cosmo Whyte
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCosmo Whyte is an interdisciplinary artist working across drawing\, installation\, photography\, and sculpture. His research-driven practice examines interstitial subjectivity through intimate and public archives\, Black spatiality\, and practices of resistance. His work is organized around two interconnected approaches: The Archive as Threshold / Site of Disturbance and Migration as Refuge / Refusal. The first considers the archive not as a fixed repository but as a constrained structure shaped by embedded histories\, asking how its limits might be unsettled and reactivated. The second frames migration as an open-ended\, unfinished process that disrupts stable notions of identity and belonging.\n\nBeginning with an interrogation of his own racialized and gendered body and the personal memories embedded within it\, Whyte uses the intimate archive as an entry point into broader collective and political questions. His work challenges the archive as a force that seeks to fix and preserve history\, instead exploring how its boundaries might be breached to reveal the complexities\, contradictions\, and lived experiences contained within. Through this process\, he considers migration not simply as movement from one place to another\, but as an ongoing condition of refuge\, refusal\, and transformation.\n\n Whyte’s work has been presented in solo exhibitions at The Arts Club of Chicago\, Anat Ebgi (Los Angeles)\, Lux Art Institute\, MOCA GA\, and Johnson Lowe Gallery\, among others. His work has also been featured in group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, El Museo del Barrio’s LA TRIENAL\, Prospect.5 New Orleans\, The Drawing Center\, the 13th Havana Biennial\, and the High Museum of Art. His honors include awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Harpo Foundation\, Artadia\, Art Matters\, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation\, the MOCA GA Working Artist Program Award\, the Edge Award\, and the Dartmouth College Artist-in-Residence Award. Whyte is the area head of painting/ drawing and an associate professor in UCLA’s Department of Art. He earned an MFA from the University of Michigan’s Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nCoinciding with his Penny Stamps Speaker Series appearance\, Stamps Gallery will present Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye\, an ambitious\, mid-career survey exhibition\, from September 11–December 12\, 2026. Directly after Whyte’s September 24 presentation\, an artist Q&A and exhibition reception will take place at Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. \n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Stamps Gallery.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n\n
