per Sway
November 2017-January 2018
Locust Projects, Miami, FL
Nancy Davidson is a New York based sculptor known for her outsized anthropomorphic sculptures. Since the 1990s her work has unapologetically addressed issues of power, sexuality, and femininity through an embrace of the subversive potential of humor and the absurd. Davidson created an immersive installation at Locust Projects in Miami, populated with giant inflated structures, knots, legs and swaying figures. Exploring ritual and theater, the place of privilege is taken over by parodies of power. Davidson’s works are generative and speculative, emphasizing the importance of being in transition: a position of not knowing and being open to experience. The exhibition Per Sway was at Locust Projects, Miami From November 2017 through January of 2018
…between what we know and what we can’t imagine. We are being remade.
