This event has ended.
Marianne Boesky Gallery presents World War Me, Gina Beavers’ inaugural solo exhibition with the gallery. For this exhibition, the artist will present a selection of both large-scale and intimate sculptural paintings, including new works that illuminate the ways in which social media has distorted and fractured our sense of self. The exhibition’s title, World War Me–inspired by an online meme satirizing the probing voiceover of Carrie from the series Sex and the City–encapsulates Beavers’ fascination with the juxtaposition of massive global events next to myopic self-obsession, particularly seen with social media.
