Melissa Shook, Awilda Cruz with her grandson, 1990, Collection of the Harvard Art Museums
Melissa Shook is included in the group exhibition Future Minded: New Works in the Collection at the Harvard Art Museums, open from March 1 through July 24, 2024.
Future Minded highlights a selection of works acquired in recent years that exemplify the Harvard Art Museums’ collecting vision and strategies. Nearly all are on display for the first time.
The museums are committed to acquiring art that expands the range of artists and cultures represented in the collections; that moves museum practice toward more nuanced understanding of both histories and contemporary issues; and that pushes boundaries and embraces experimentation. Many of the works on view are by living artists, an area of focused growth for the museums.
