British-Kenyan artist Grace Ndiritu presents a remarkable photographic universe of paintings, textiles, and interior design, inspired by female artists O'Keeffe, Modotti, and Albers. This exhibition represents a radical and holistic reinterpretation of classic collection exhibitions.

Ndiritu's art practice explores the fast-changing world we live in. She sees shamanism as a way to revive "the dying art museum." Through this new exhibition, Ndiritu has created a sanctuary, a space for slowing down and reflecting. She invites you to observe with an open mind, make intuitive connections, and let go of rational thinking. Ndiritu is fascinated by architecture as a form of "spiritual technology," and she has designed a wooden scenography inspired by mid-century Californian homes, modernist museum interiors, and world's fairs. Don't miss this captivating exhibition that challenges the traditional notions of collection displays!

Nino Mier Gallery is happy to present "Seyni Awa Camara: 1990 - 2022," an extraordinary exhibition featuring sculptures by Senegal-based artist Seyni Awa Camara. 🎉 This captivating showcase marks the artist's first exhibition with the gallery and will be on view until June 10, 2023 in New York.

Accompanying the exhibition is a catalogue featuring a thought-provoking essay by esteemed curator, writer, and art historian Eva Barois de Caevel.

's totemic sculptures transport us into a realm of wonder, evoking imagery ranging from bestiaries to motor vehicles and maternity scenes. Influenced by her dreams, Camara uses clay as her medium, infusing it with natural elements and ores before delicately sculpting intricate forms. After the laborious carving process, the sculptures are fired on a wooden pyre and immersed in a liquid derived from putrefied tree pods, resulting in their vibrant colors and textured quality.
