Installation is a process that takes more than two weeks for Ebony G. Patterson . . . while the dew is still on the roses . . ., which presents the work of artist Ebony G. Patterson, born in Jamaica in 1981. This is the most significant exhibition of the artist’s work to date. A 5,000-square-foot gallery pavilion is transformed into a new installation environment that evokes a night garden. On view Feb. 27 through July 12, 2020.
