If I did, I did, I die

If I did, I did, I die, is the American debut of Italian-born, Paris-based artist Beatrice Bonino, and the gallery’s first presentation of a dedicated body of work by a singular artist. The exhibition features over twenty works, including sculpture, seating and exercises in material exploration.

Bonino’s work investigates notions of ephemerality and memory, ideas of fastening – closure, disclosure and the tensions inherent in the nature of seemingly disparate materials – those very tensions present within ourselves.

Industrial materials such as metal nails, bolts of rubber sheets, rhinestones or even a maligned storage box – she imbues all of these materials with beauty and honors them as embodiments of her own particular vision.
