Constellations

Court Gallery, Ben Shahn Center for the Visual Arts

October 16 – December 8, 2023

This exhibition features artworks by seventeen artists who have been mentored and influenced by Ben Jones: Ray Arcadio, Josie Barreiro, Gianluca Bianchino, Gerardo Castro, Jose Manuel Cruz, Orlando Cuevas, Gerald Glover, Troy Jones, Heejung Kim, Mansa K. Mussa, Mustart, Orocoro, Jose Pardo, Michele A. Pope, Lucy Rovetto, Danielle Scott, and Bisa Washington. Their community of practice now extends four decades and thousands of miles beyond the orbit of northern New Jersey—each with their own connection to Jones—working in parallel universes of their own creation.
