About
A public mural titled 'Junction' by the visual artist Omari Douglin, on view to the public. Commissioned as part of BAM's Robert W. Wilson Public Art Initiative, it was inspired by the Hamm Archives, a collection chronicling the institution's history and programming. The work layers archival images from BAM's Next Wave Journals, magazines, posters and advertisements from the 1980s and 1990s, reimagined in Douglin's painting style, with jazz musician Miles Davis at its center drawn from a 1994 GAP advertisement. Its yellow background echoes Keith Haring's 1984 poster for Secret Pastures, reflecting how one artistic discipline informs another.
