WAITING ROOM

WAITING ROOM

In July 2025, Good Black Art presented Waiting Room, the second exhibition in its A (Good) Summer Residency, held in partnership with Creative Legion in Hudson, NY, opening during Upstate Art Weekend.

Co-curated with artist and designer Braden A. Hollis and designed by Pablo Olguin, the exhibition moved from external landscapes into the home, exploring how domestic interiors shape creativity and purpose.

In March 2024, Braden Hollis relocated from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, turning her home into both studio and subject, a site for reflection, improvisation, and quiet transformation. Waiting Room extended that practice, presenting a lived-in space shaped by care and collaboration, and blurring the line between art and everyday life.

The exhibition drew inspiration from Hemsley Winfield, the late concert dancer, who engaged in a reflective period of studying, rehearsing, and redefining his aesthetic goals before every major performance. In that same spirit, Braden Hollis treated the home as a place for process, play, and purpose, where art and life unfold together

The opening reception for Waiting Room took place Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 4 to 7 PM at Creative Legion, 7 Fairview Avenue, Hudson, NY 12534. The exhibition remained on view through Monday, September 1, 2025.
