Meredith Nickie and Maki Ueno Exhibition
PS122 Gallery
This event has ended.
Meredith Nickie explores issues of post-colonialism, gender, and race as framed by the historiographies of imperial rule and the enduring legacies of culture and capital. She works primarily in sculpture, installation and photography. She will be presenting "Afro Blue."
Maki Ueno will be exhibiting five large-scale photographs as well as a video from her "Liilian Project." This series began in 2007 when the artist met "an elegant old British lady, sitting on a bench with her dog." The artist has spent the past three years documenting this spirited woman in her small apartment and her private club, listening to her "worldly" stories. Despite their many differences, they bonded over their shared backgrounds as immigrants in New York City. As Lillian's health has deteriorated over the years, so has her independence and her loneliness is profound. Yet, Maki Ueno has found Lillian's strength of character and dignity inspirational and tries in these photographs to "share the essence of this woman's life with (her) audience."
