Week 6 Something Other than Paint Id 778 Jayson Musson American 1977 - Trying to find our spot off in that light, light off in that spot , 2014 Mercerized cotton stretched over cotton Musson created the colorful, rippling patterns of this work by stitching together pieces of Coogibrand sweaters. These sweaters—marketed as wearable art—were made famous in the 1980s by Bill Cosby’s television character Dr. Heathcliff (Cliff) Huxtable, and again, in the 1990s by rapper Notorious B.I.G. The work’s title comes from the song lyrics by hip-hop duo OutKast. In these ways, Musson intertwines references to black popular culture with a revival of modern, abstract painting. This work is featured in the new book Represent: 200 Years of African American Art in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A related exhibition with works by more than fifty artists is now on view in the Honickman and Berman Galleries, located on the ground floor.
