THE MOTHERLODE
SEPTEMBER is thrilled to present THE MOTHERLODE, Nicole Cherubini’s first solo exhibition at the gallery spanning twenty years of the artist’s practice. The show will respond to the gallery’s spatial distinctions while integrating three facets of her work: sculpture, photography, and performance. A central drive to Cherubini’s creativity is collaboration which will be present here in varying forms: her work with a choreographer, her re-working of photographic archives, and her integration of influence and conversation with feminists authors, artists and theorists. Cherubini’s familiar exploration of what she terms ‘Baroque Minimalism’ runs throughout the exhibition: her baroque aesthetic is at play in the maximalist outfitting of figures in her photographs and the decadent ornamentation of her sculptures, while her minimalist inclinations are echoed in the geometric composition of her photographs and her cubed benches. Throughout the exhibition, the democratization of class and cultural signifiers, and the leveling of aesthetics and function are evidence of Cherubini’s multi-aesthetic and anti-hierarchical ethos.
