Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Gary, Indiana-based Manal Kara. This will be the artist鈥檚 first solo exhibition at the gallery.
With a keen interest and awareness of how they occupy an arts ecology, Manal Kara鈥檚 practice often begins outside of the studio. Often journaling their dreams, writing poetry, collecting photographs, and reading philosophy, the self-taught interdisciplinary artist constantly logs how the body comes to its present state of making. Kara鈥檚 sculptures are a by-product of a life lived. Citing French feminist writer, philosopher, and literary critic H茅l猫ne Cixous鈥檚 quote, 鈥淚 have the inclination for avowal,鈥� they continue with their own statement: 鈥淲hat I am engaged in is acts of wild, unbridled, desperate, orgiastic avowal. I am trying to reveal something, as much to myself as to anyone else.鈥�
