Nikita Gale: In A Dream You Climb The Stairs

About

Artist Nikita Gale sculpts concrete, metal, light, and sound. Composing unforgettable installations through interventions both spatial and sonic alongside moving image works, Gale possesses a unique material sensibility through which abstract connections are forged between image and text, memory and identity, history and now. Chisenhale Gallery presents the artist’s first solo exhibition in a UK institution. Gale’s deeply researched practice orbits themes of invisibility and audibility, interrogating the complicated dynamic between performer and spectator, structure and decay. The through-line of the commission is the potential for new ways of being and relating to arise from resourcefully existing undetected among wreck and ruin.
