Luxe, Calm, Volupt茅
To coincide with the retrospective Darrel Ellis: Regeneration at the Bronx Museum, Candice Madey presents Luxe, Calme, Volupt茅, an exhibition curated by Antonio Sergio Bessa and Allen Frame that surveys over 70 artists working in New York in the 1980s, the decade when Ellis developed his radical approach to photography, depicting intimate portraits of friends, family, and of himself.
The salon-style hanging of 70-plus artists in the show creates the kind of dense mix of surprising juxtapositions and unexpected bedfellows that occurred constantly in the lives of these artists and is weighted towards the portrait and the figure, reminders of the interrelated subjectivities that merged in a scene with so much promise and so much destruction.
