Les Parages, Solo Exhibition
Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio
Nov 16 - Dec 7 2021
“Shinnecock NY - Ma’s House is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by October and November resident artist Beau Bree Rhee. The exhibit will run from November 16th – December 7th, 2021 with an opening reception Tuesday, November 16th from 5 - 7 p.m. The exhibition will feature works inspired by Shinnecock’s coastline using local soils and seashells as a pigment. The artist is inspired by the indigenous ecology of this land that has never been surrendered. Les Parages is themed around the power of this land, and aims to honor its inherent sublimity as well as its resilience to colonialism and its future potentialities. Parages has multiple meanings: in French the word can mean ‘shoreline’ or a ‘general spatial vicinity around a site’ (dans les parages) while in English it means an ‘equality of condition or dignity’. In the artist’s work, elements like soil or shells are considered as precious biomaterials, fundamental forces to sustaining life.”
