She will do a special site specific visual performance piece, Scales, in the outdoor field where artist Donald Judd’s “15 Untitled Works in Concrete” are showcased at the Chinati Foundation.
A Seat at The Table, released on September 30th, 2016, via Saint Records / Columbia, was written and performed by Solange, and co-executive produced alongside Raphael Saadiq. Upon release, the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and was #1 on both Apple Music and iTunes Overall Top Chart.
