'The Hikers,' an exhibition of recent works by American artist Rashid Johnson, addresses Johnson’s recurring interest in currents of anxiety and escapism. The exhibition borrows its title from Johnson’s latest film, a centerpiece of the exhibition, choreographed by Claudia Schreier and shot earlier this year on location in the mountains of Colorado.
Directed by Rashid Johnson Choreography by Claudia Schreier Produced by Alex Ernst Performed by Lloyd Knight and Leslie Williams Music composed and performed by Antoine Baldwin
