This event has ended.
Ed. Varie presents No Matter New Matter, a three person exhibition welcoming artists Michelle Blade (Los Angeles), Fiona Curran (London), and Malin Gabriella Nordin (Stockholm).
No Matter New Matter unveils the practices of three artists from different parts of the world who explore varying perceptions of nature, whether environmental or manmade. The works in this intimate group show run parallel to nature by engaging organic and incidental approaches to a variety of materials.
Michelle Blade, currently based in Los Angeles, earned an MFA from California College of the Arts, San Francisco and a BA from Loyola Marymount, Los Angeles. Blade has exhibited at Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco; Roberts & Tilton, Los Angeles; Bravin Lee Gallery, New York; Western Exhibitions, Chicago; The Center for Contemporary Art, Santa Fe; Union Gallery, London; and V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, among others. Blade was recently included in the exhibition Your Favorite Artist’s Favorite Artist at Joshua Liner Gallery. Blade is a recipient of the Murphy-Cadogan Fellowship, the 2X2 Pro Arts Grant, and the Alternative Exposure SOEX Grant. This will be Blade’s first exhibition with Ed. Varie.
