SARAH BRAHIM, DAVID LINDSAY, SOPHIE REINHOLD: Elegiac

We are proud to present a group exhibition with Sarah Brahim, David Lindsay and Sophie Reinhold. The presentation will be accompanied by a poem by David Lindsay titled Elegiac.

Combining video, installation, performance, photography, textiles, and sound, Sarah Brahim’s immersive and inclusive work uses the body as medium, inviting viewers to examine their own bodies’ capacity to transform through experience. Brahim was born in 1992 and lives and between Riyadh, Portland, New York and Milan. She trained at San Francisco Conservatory, London School of Contemporary Dance, and Oregon Health and Science University. Her work has been presented at Louvre Abu Dhabi (2023-4); Bally Foundation (Lugano, 2023-4); Islamic Biennale (Jeddah, 2023); Biennale de Lyon (2022), Diriyah Biennale (2022); and Noor Festival Contemporary Light Art (Riyadh, 2022). In 2023, Brahim was shortlisted for the Richard Mille Art Prize, exhibited at Louvre Abu Dhabi; completed a residence at Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center in New York and received the Baroness Nina von Maltzahn Fellowship for the Performing Arts.

Working with family traditions, lore, poetic, playful materials, David Lindsay explores visuals and language that blur between multiple things, hardness and softness, alien and organic, gardens and not architecture. Lindsay is a poet, artist and curator based in New York. He was born 1988, in New Hampshire and is currently doing an MA at Bard College. Prior to that he completed a BA in literature at University of Vermont. Recent exhibitions include at anonymous gallery (New York, 2024); Bard College (Annandale-On-Hudson, 2023); The Bunker (New York, 2021); Passingtime (2020) and Alyssa Davis Gallery (New York, 2020). In addition, Lindsay performed in numerous readings, such as at Tibet House, organized by Arden Wohl (New York, 2023); Club Wonder, organized by Ben Fama and Allison Brainard (New York 2022); Radical Poetry, organized by Adjua Gargi Nzinga Greaves (New York, 2020); and East River Poems, organized by Magenta Plains (New York, 2020).

Sophie Reinhold thematises questions around dreams and lies, simulation and real life. Her imagery often speaks to classical iconography and mythology, which is underlined by the sculptural quality of the paintings that breaks with a satirical depiction of ubiquitous images. Reinhold was born 1981, in Berlin and studied under Antje Majewski at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, prior to that under Amelie von Wulffen at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig. Recent solo and duo exhibitions include at PHILIPPZOLLINGER (Zurich, 2024); Galerie Nordenhake (Berlin, 2023); Fitzpatrick Gallery (Paris, 2022); Sophie Tappeiner (Vienna, 2021); CFA (Berlin, 2020); PHILIPPZOLLINGER (Zurich, 2020); Kunstverein Reutlingen (2019); Sundogs (Paris, 2019); Schiefe Zähne (Berlin, 2018); Rüdiger Schöttle (Munich, 2018) and Sophie Tappeiner (Vienna, 2017). In addition, she has participated in numerous group shows, such as at Kunsthalle Zurich (2023); Kunsthaus Graz (2022); Fitzpatrick Gallery (Paris, 2021); Andrew Kreps (New York, 2021); Kunstverein Ingolstadt (2019) and Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (2019).
