‘Miracles and Glory Abound,’ 2018, mixed media assemblages
MONTCLAIR, NJ — The Montclair Art Museum has announced a new exhibition opening in February featuring the work of vanessa german and titled “…please imagine all the things I cannot say…” The show will run from Feb. 11 to June 25 at the museum, 3 S. Mountain Ave. in Montclair.
This show will take the form of a large-scale, immersive installation of mixed media artworks and will be the artist’s first solo museum show in the New York City area. The exhibition will include a range of free-standing and wall-based works from the years 2016 to 2021, along with several works from german’s recent solo show, “Sad Rapper,” at Kasmin Gallery in New York City.
A Los Angeles native, german currently resides in rural North Carolina. She is a self-taught sculptor, painter, poet and performance artist who refers to herself as a citizen artist and is interested in art as a form of healing, protection and activism. Her mostly female power figures explore themes of strength, love and justice, while engaging with the complicated history of race in the United States.
