Studio Museum Names Three Artists for 2026–27 Residency

Three artists will move into studios at the Studio Museum in Harlem this November as the institution names its newest class of artists-in-residence, a program that has long served as the museum’s creative engine.

The 2026–27 cohort is made up of multidisciplinary artist Turiya Adkins, artist and curator Timothy Yanick Hunter, and photographer and filmmaker Clifford Prince King. From this November through October 2027, each will work from an individual studio in the museum’s new building on West 125th Street. The yearlong residency also includes professional development training and material support, and it ends with a group exhibition in one of the museum’s galleries. Work by the current cohort remains on view through January 3.

The announcement was among the items in Hyperallergic’s weekly Art Movements roundup, published Thursdays, which tracks appointments, awards and other news from the art world.

Elsewhere in that roundup, the Prix Duchamp, described as France’s largest contemporary art award, went this year to Brognon Rollin, the duo of David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin. The prize comes with €35,000, roughly $39,200, and a place in an exhibition of work by all four nominees, which is on view through February 7 at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. Joël Andrianomearisoa, Laura Henno and Josèfa Ntjam were also nominated.

Fabrice Hergott, the museum’s director, praised the winners’ conceptual practice as “a quiet yet tenacious statement on human vulnerability,” adding that their work “gives tangible form to what usually escapes our gaze: the passage of time spent waiting, addiction and inner resilience.”

The roundup also noted a farewell of an unusual kind in Venice. For the coda to Seaworld Venice, Florentina Holzinger’s installation for the Austrian Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale, the artist will stage a “final dinner” featuring all the bodily waste collected from visitors over the past seven months. The pavilion’s central conceit involved filtering urine from on-site port-a-potties into a dunk tank. The new piece, “Closing Étude,” will be held at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia in Venice. According to a statement cited in the roundup, the “distilled remains serve as a monument for the future” and will be presented outside the closed pavilion on November 22. Hyperallergic’s verdict: “Okay!”

The roundup’s summary also points to a trove of Kiki Smith prints headed to the New York Public Library, though the portion of the source text available here does not elaborate on that item.

For Harlem, the residency announcement marks a continuation of one of the museum’s signature programs, now housed in the West 125th Street building. The three new artists arrive within weeks, just as the current cohort’s exhibition enters its final stretch.
