Maria Louizou: Moulting Season
Moulting: the biological process where an animal sheds an outer covering, such as feathers, fur, skin, or an exoskeleton, to make way for new growth.
Crux Galerie is pleased to announce Maria Louizou鈥檚 solo exhibition titled Moulting Season. The exhibition presents a series of new sculptures that explore the theme of dwelling, from skin to home, as a means of protection, as well as temporary places of release and regeneration. Included in the exhibition are the wax sculptures Dwellings, which were commissioned for the exhibition 鈥淚n a Bright Green Field鈥� of the DESTE Foundation and the New Museum in partnership with the Benaki Museum, curated by Gary Carrion-Murayari.
Sculptures made of wax, clay, steel, and plaster temporarily welcome bodies, highlighting the space left behind when their period of transformation is complete. The exhibition Moulting Season visualises precisely this process of transformation and its relic. At the same time, the ceramic works formed based on the human scale, are activated through the human presence and voices, being utilised as musical instruments. The program of live activations around and within the works performed by the artist will be announced shortly.
