Kerry James Marshall titled the group show he guest-curated for Koplin Del Rio “Hangin’ Together” to suggest the mood of an end-of-summer reverie, a “relaxed, easygoing social gathering.” He invited six artists to the conversation, making sure the mix was aesthetically and generationally diverse, “unburdened by a weighty theme.” The exhibition isn’t all small talk, however, more like a sequence of brief, variably engaging monologues, touching on a range of concerns, among them sex, religion, race and the beauty of nature.
