Maya Weishof is currently undertaking a residency at Kupfer in collaboration with Galeria Millan, Brazil. The resulting works from the residency culminate in Maya's first solo UK exhibition, 'Headless'.
About
'Headless' brings together a new series of works that explore the architecture of the gallery to establish a dialogue between painting, set design, ornament, and space. At Kupfer, Weishof freely experimented with new possibilities of display, emphasising the scenographic qualities of the work to create a layered environment that invites viewer to move through and project their gaze beyond the paintings.
The starting point of the exhibition is The Headless People, a large-scale work that hangs from the gallery ceiling. Constructed with several strips of painted canvas sewn together, creating a portal-like structure, this is the only work completed by the artist before arriving in London.
