Material Matters
Jamal Cyrus, Vaughn Davis Jr., Aryana Minai, Fay Ray, and Tori Wränes
July 27 – August 31, 2024
Opening Reception Saturday, July 27, 6-8pm PST
Nazarian / Curcio is pleased to announce Material Matters, a group exhibition featuring works by Jamal Cyrus, Vaughn Davis Jr., Aryana Minai, Fay Ray, and Tori Wrånes. These artists are united through their use of abstraction and materiality as a means to explore personal narrative, address pertinent political histories, and deal with issues of labor, migration, the body, and memory. Employing a wide range of media, including denim, metal, stone, silicon, paper-pulp, and shredded canvas, each artist’s respective material is coded with specific meaning and utilizes the language of abstraction to create nuanced and provocative narratives that speak to lived experience.
