Tavares Strachan

Marian Goodman Gallery New York presents Starless Midnight, a solo exhibition by Tavares Strachan featuring new and existing works across seven immersive environments. Through painting, sound, robotics, neon, and sculpture, Strachan explores storytelling and overlooked histories. A life-size ceramic of Exuma, neon text by James Baldwin, and intricate word-search paintings contribute to a sensory experience. Rooted in The Encyclopedia of Invisibility, the exhibition reclaims forgotten narratives.

Selected Works

Tavares Strachan

Tavares Strachan (b. 1979, Nassau, Bahamas) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores invisibility, historical erasure, and the intersections of art, science, and politics. Known for ambitious projects like launching a satellite honoring Black astronaut Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., and transporting Arctic ice to the Bahamas, Strachan highlights overlooked narratives and challenges dominant histories. His Encyclopedia of Invisibility compiles thousands of forgotten figures and ideas. A MacArthur Fellow, he earned his MFA from Yale and lives between New York and Nassau, creating work that bridges imagination, discovery, and cultural memory.
