NARS is pleased to present Hush, an exhibition curated by Eva Mayhabal Davis and with works by Gabriel Bielawski, Matthew Cronin, Traci Hercher, Andrew Yong Hoon Lee, Habby Osk, Whitney Ramage and Daniela Stubbs-Levi.
Reflecting on the tension that social crisis creates on the world, these artists set forth bodies of work that are introspective on themselves, their own history, and the still lives that perpetually continue with the pendulum of time.
Often working in solitude, the artist in their studio is but a romantic notion that in reality embraces the cacophony of the outside. Noise imprints that are visually studied and balanced with lines, textile, and sculpture. The works presented here embrace a quality of stillness, a hush. That breaks down the noise. In a spectrum of mediums, noises are observed, they sit still, opaque and quiet. There are traces of time –past, present, future or reminders of a physical space where silence is louder than sounds.
