Bárbara Sánchez-Kane’s solo exhibition: New Lexicons for Embodiment at Kurimanzutto, New York

Bárbara Sánchez-Kane’s solo exhibition: New Lexicons for Embodiment will be available for viewing  from the 15th September until the 4th of November at Kurimanzutto New York

Navigating the individual, yet intertwined worlds of fashion and art, the artist considers the clothed body as the interphase with which we experience the world and interact with reality, and examines how these clothes contribute to the performance of identity and self-expression.  Sánchez-Kane, who alternatively uses she and he pronouns, is interested in the deconstruction of identities and the duality of the presented self: through her clothes and sculptures, there is a perpetual tearing and fracturing of the structure, voids that seemingly shouldn’t exist, and the recurring repurposing of traditional objects through the destruction of their functionality.
