Emma Stern's Latest Exhibition: Dimes 4Ever World Tour
Almine Rech London proudly presents Penny & The Dimes: Dimes 4Ever World Tour, the second solo exhibition by Emma Stern at the gallery, on view from September 6 to September 30, 2023. In a recent conversation with Shumon Basar, Emma Stern provided intriguing insights into the creative process behind her exhibition:
Concept Album Approach: Stern likens her exhibitions to concept albums, with each one centered around a unifying theme. In London, she introduces The Band, a group of characters whose appearances preceded their personalities, allowing Stern to craft a compelling narrative that binds her artworks.
Avatar Fascination: Stern's fascination with avatars was ignited during her time as a nude model in art school, offering her a unique perspective shift. This experience sparked her interest in the reciprocal relationship between artist and muse, a theme central to her work.
Challenging Notions: Stern challenges conventional notions by rejecting both the "female gaze" and the "male gaze," asserting her belief in a more complex and nuanced perspective.
Emma Stern's exhibition promises a deep dive into the human form, narrative and the intricate relationship between artist and muse. Her ability to challenge established ideas and offer fresh perspectives makes Penny & The Dimes: Dimes 4Ever World Tour a must-see for contemporary art enthusiasts.
