In her new post, she will work on special exhibitions, projects, and collaborations with Zwirner\u2019s artists and continue to oversee 52 Walker, which has presented an eclectic range of shows in New York\u2019s Tribeca neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tUpon 52 Walker\u2019s opening, Zwirner told the New York Times, of his aspiration to showcase work by Black curators and artists following the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, \u201cWhile you could argue that strides have been made on the artist side, the art world acts almost shamefully on the employment side. Something has to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\tRelated Articles<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARMMI0142.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARMMI0142.jpg\" alt=\"A painting of two nude Black men carrying a third one between them.

Highlights of the program, which gives shows longer run-times of two or three months, include exhibitions by Nikita Gale, Nora Turato, Tiona Nekkie McClodden, Tau Lewis, Bob Thompson, Arthur Jafa, Sara Cwynar, and Lotus L. Kang, among others. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe space has also mounted conceptually minded duo presentations such as a show pairing Pope. L. with Gordon Matta-Clark and another matching Glenn Ligon with Julius Eastman. The new exhibition opening tonight, running for just two weeks (and thus billed as 52 Walker\u2019s \u201csixteenth-and-a-half\u201d exhibition), features wrestling-themed drawings by Raymond Pettibon along with two live wrestling matches\u2014on October 3 and 10\u2014in a ring inside the space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn a statement about Haynes\u2019s new post, David Zwirner said, \u201cI\u2019m excited to have Ebony in this new role, as it is a logical evolution of her work here at the gallery. Seeing Ebony\u2019s Tau Lewis exhibition at our L.A. gallery earlier this year made it clear to me that her program should also be able to be seen by global audiences at our other locations. Closer to home, I am very much looking forward to her Isa Genzken show in Tribeca.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHaynes herself said, \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to bringing the 52 Walker experience to a broader audience and making even more room for ideas and collaboration with artists and curators across the globe. I\u2019ve always been inspired by David Zwirner\u2019s program and I\u2019m excited at the new ways the programs will continue to lend to one another.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ebony L.
