Press Release Baltimore Museum of Art is giving a platform to the creative exhibition by Mickalene Thomas on November 24, 2019. The exhibition titled “Mickalene Thomas: A Moment’s Pleasure” will be located in the most accessible area of the museum – the two-story East Lobby. The artist will provide the audience with a transformed living room for Baltimore. In particular, Mickalene Thomas will engage all aspects of the location into transformation, including wallpapers and furniture and accompany the modified area with paintings, prints, and exterior design elements (Baltimore Museum of Art). The goal of the artistic process is to define the new aesthetic and a change in a communal experience for the viewer. The overall goal of the museum in initiating this solo exhibition is to honor the anniversary of women’s suffrage. It should be noted that the Baltimore Museum of Art has planned an entire series of events for the 2019-2020 season during which female-identifying artists will be exhibited. The institution intends to transform the Western art-historical canon and bring to the forefront the accomplishments of female artists.
