Berry Campbell is pleased to present its first solo exhibition of work by Nanette Carter (b. 1954) since announcing representation in 2021. Nanette Carter creates collages, constructions, and installations that recall the lineage of African American quilt-making, while drawing on jazz, Japanese prints, Russian Constructivism, Abstract Expressionism, and other sources. She describes herself as a “builder, fascinated by the act of bringing pieces together to create a work of art,” while noting that “building is one of civilizations’ oldest endeavors.” Carter’s shaped collages, produced in multimedia on Mylar, are evocative of concepts in the African American abstract art tradition.
Shape Shifting will debut Nanette Carter’s most recent works including several large-scale wall collages. The exhibition is accompanied by a 20-page catalogue with an essay by Adrienne L. Childs, Ph.D. The opening reception will be Thursday, April 28, 2022, from 6pm to 8pm. The exhibition continues through May 27, 2022.
