Artist: Catalina Schliebener

Curator: John Chaich

In our first Mills Gallery exhibition since March 2020, BCA presents Catalina Schliebener: Growing Sideways, curated by John Chaich, in which dozens of drawings-on-collage frame the Mills Gallery space to culminate in a site-specific, floor-to-ceiling installation, growing across two- and three-dimensional surfaces and creating a disjointed narrative exploring gender formation and erotic curiosity.

• • Closing Conversation:
    Saturday, October 23, 2021, 6pm – 7:30pm
    For the Closing Conversation of the Mills Gallery exhibition Catalina Schliebener: Growing Sideways, the artist is in conversation with Philadelphia-based artist Samantha Nye, whose exhibition My Heart’s in a Whirl is currently on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In their practices and friendship, the two artists bring connected but divergent approaches to gender, queerness, age, materiality, and space. The two artists will be joined by the two curators, John Chaich and Michelle Millar Fisher. We hope you can view both exhibits before the conversation on the 23rd.
