Joan Brown's 1975 The Room, Part 1 is currently on view at the Carnegie Museum of Art. Crossroads, mined from the museum's permanent collection, illustrates the artist's critical role in everyday life, at the intersection of history and society. Beginning in 1945, the installation is broken up into chapters that create a visual dialog of global post-war history. Brown is included alongside Bruce Connor, the Guerilla Girls, Pope.L, Cindy Sherman, and Kerry James Marshall, among others. The exhibition is on view through November 21, 2021.
