In the “Museums” series, Carrie Mae Weems, shrouded in black, stands before monumental structures that characterize a variety of leading art institutions in the United States and Western Europe. In Untitled, Weems contrasts her figure with the massive columns framing the British Museum in London. With her back to the camera, the artist questions the power of architecture, ideas of displacement, and, pointedly, the exclusion of artists of African descent from these institutions.
