Marion Baruch

Sommer Contemporary Art is excited to announce Marion Baruch: Bomba, guest-curated by Noah Stolz and Nicola Trezzi at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo.

The most recent phase of Baruch’s practice – the focus of her solo exhibition at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo – is characterized by the reuse of textile waste from the prêt-à-porter industry, employed by the artist to create a body of work that renewed her conviction that formalism is never disconnected from issues that are either conceptual, autobiographical, existential or philosophical. Two prime examples from this body of work are presented for the first time on this occasion: Passage Paysage and Cloud Architecture (both 2021). Opening a new phase in her work is Bomba (2022), created especially for this exhibition and consisting for the first time of a monochromatic composition of fabric ‘limbs,’ clothes that were once the artist’s own. The presence of this new path attests to the artist’s perseverance in reinventing her chosen medium, in a vocabulary that is all her own yet undeniably universal.
