Elle Pérez: Devotions
Overview
Organized by Carnegie Museum of Art, this exhibition debuts a recent body of work by New York-based artist Elle Pérez.
Including 13 photographs created between 2019 and 2021, Devotions explores relationship building, creating space to reflect on how we navigate ourselves in relation to others and the world. Pérez’s carefully sequenced images dwell in moments of grief and care, pain and pleasure, desire and self-exploration. Amidst recurring motifs of water, touch, and BDSM are also striking choices in proximity, scale, color, and light.
The works will be presented at the BMA as an immersive experience, connecting the John Waters Rotunda and adjacent galleries.
This exhibition is organized by the Carnegie Museum of Art. It is curated in Baltimore by Cecilia Wichmann, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art.
This exhibition is supported by The Hardiman Family Endowment Fund.
