Jordan Nassar To Light The Sky

James Cohan Gallery

This event has ended.

Jordan Nassar’s new exhibition, To Light The Sky, is now open at our 48 Walker Street gallery.

Nassar’s multivalent art practice engages with a variety of crafts to explore ideas centered on heritage and homeland. To Light The Sky showcases six new hand-embroidered multipanel works and five wall-hanging glass sculptures, each examining issues of identity, diaspora and cultural participation. Nassar employs “the landscape” as a thread throughout these two mediums, carefully mapping out patterns and often interrupting them, using fields of color to define rolling hills and expansive skies.
