Noah Davis at the Barbican

We have been appointed by the Barbican Centre to lead the design of the major retrospective of the late artist Noah Davis, who died in Ojai, California, at the age of 32 of a rare form of soft tissue cancer.

Davis was an American painter, installation artist, and founder of the Underground Museum in Los Angeles a ground-breaking gallery, community space, event space and artist residency where Davis also resided.
Davis championed an approach in his work to show black people in normal scenarios, where drugs and guns are nothing to do with it "instances where black aesthetics and modernist aesthetics collide".

The exhibition will open in February 2025. More news to follow!
