VAMPIRE::MOTHER curated by Jasmine Wahi

Currently on view on Vortic is VAMPIRE::MOTHER, an exhibition curated by Jasmine Wahi and realised by Vortic Curated and Anat Ebgi.

The exhibition presents primarily new work by 15 contemporary artists responding to and pulling apart the imposed and oversimplified stereotypes affiliated with women/femmes.

?Featured artists include Daphne Arthur, María Berrío, Tammi Campbell, Bhasha Chakrabarti, Saskia Colwell, Chantal Joffe, Jane Margarette, Marilyn Minter, Katherina Olschbaur, Paula Rego, Laurie Simmons, Jessica Taylor Bellamy, Mickalene Thomas, Nadia Waheed, Shoshanna Weinberger.

As explained by the curator, Jasmine Wahi:?

VAMPIRE::MOTHER attempts to disrupt linear and binary structures and impositions by presenting the idea that multiple realities (and selves) can exist simultaneously … and asks artists to consider the reductive nature of these roles and subvert them. It invites them to consider how we use our 'wiles' as a means of subterfuge.?The seductress can be a kitten, soft and cuddly; or she may be a vampire. It is a show that embraces the mainstream tendency to navigate the world through a rigid binary framework. But truly, it subverts this lens, and dismantles binary structures, mushing them into a gloop of indefinable and

intersectional identities”.

The latest iteration in Vortic Curated’s hybrid exhibition series, VAMPIRE::MOTHER is open at Anat Ebgi’s Wilshire Boulevard gallery in Los Angeles until 2 March 2024, with a virtual extension launching to coincide with Frieze L.A. on 28 February 2024.
