Bosse & Baum is pleased to present Miriam Austin’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. The title of the exhibition Lupercalia takes its name from an ancient Roman ceremony that prepared the city for spring’s onset.
About
Through its combination of installation and performance, the exhibition Lupercalia institutes a narrative matrix, which in sculptural objects become sacred instruments, tools and vestments. The resulting works push towards imaginative slippages in which objects and bodies meld, generating hybrid forms that are simultaneously alarming and seductive.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a text written by LOUISA ELDERTON.
A series of events and performances will take place in the duration of the exhibition. Please check here for updates or contact info@bosseandbaum.com for more information.

///
Austin’s work for Lupercalia emerges in part from her participation in the artist collective UA, which since its inception in 2013 has created contexts for producing and viewing artworks and texts that disrupt the secular default. UA insists on taking religion, myth and mysticism seriously as way of understanding and engaging with aesthetic production.
