Nova Jiang
Recent Drawings

May 3rd - June 1st, 2012
Opening: May 3rd, 6-8pm

Illuminated Metropolis presents a one-person exhibition of recent drawings by Nova Jiang.

The artist sees drawing as a primary act of communication. The works document thoughts that cannot be documented in words. They depict narrative situations and future sculptural speculations. Derived through the process of Automatism, the artist attempts to render the drawings as legible as airplane safety cards. More immediate than language, the drawings storyboard different configurations of the artist’s immediate sensorial inputs. Created during a residency at Wave Hill, they respond to the influence of ever-present nature.

Nova Jiang has recently been awarded a Wave Hill Van Lier Visual Artist Fellowship, an Eyebeam Fellowship and a Sculpture Space Grant. Her upcoming exhibitions include a solo exhibition at Wave Hill, ISEA2012 in Albuquerque, File Festival in Sao Paulo, Le Cube in Paris, and the CAFKA Biennial in Kitchener, Canada.
