“Midnight’s Daydream,” an exhibit at the Studio Museum in Harlem, explores the “the witching hour.” The show highlights the work of the museum’s 2006–07 artists-inresidence, Titus Kaphar, Wardell Milan II, and Demetrius Oliver. Among the highlights is a diptych titled “Conversation Between Paintings no. 3: Descent” (2007). Mr. Kaphar engages historical issues of race in Europe and the New World by juxtaposing and mashing two works: John Baptiste de Medina’s portrait”James Drummond, 2nd Titular Duke of Perth” (c.1700) and Anne-Louis Girodet’s “Jean-Baptiste Balley” (1797), a likeness of the Senegal-born representative of Santo Domingo (now Haiti) in the French Parliament. Through Sunday, October 28, Studio Museum in Harlem, Wednesday–Friday and Sunday, noon–6 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m., 144 W. 125th St., between Lenox and Seventh avenues, 212-864-4500, $7 general, $3 seniors and students, freeformembers and children under age 12.
