I’m excited to announce my first international solo show.  Lots of my collages are on display at Preteen gallery in Hermosillo, Mexico.  All pictures are courtesy of the gallery.  At the opening they celebrated Preteen’s first anniversary–and congratulations–they’ve had a year full of truly amazing exhibits.  Visit Preteen to see more.  Quoted from their site:

PRETEEN IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE PIE IN THE SKY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL; A NEW SOLO SHOW BY NORTH CAROLINA-BASED ARTIST BRANDI STRICKLAND. STRICKLAND’S MINIMAL GRAPHIC ASSEMBLAGES RESEMBLE THOSE OF HANNAH HÖCH IN THAT THEY SERVE AS DOCUMENTS OF DAY TO DAY EPHEMERA AND THAT THEY PORE OVER FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY IN A SCANT AND DELICATE MANNER. ALSO, THEY SCRUTINIZE THE POWER STRUCTURES THAT SHAPE THE VISUAL OUTCOMES OF GEOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY AND MATHEMATICS. THE HUMAN BODY AND NATURE ARE REPRESENTED IN AN OFTEN FRAGMENTED, NEBULOUS AND NOSTALGIC WAY. TEXT BECOMES A MERE ORNAMENTAL COMPONENT MORE THAN A LINGUISTIC OR POETIC SIGNIFIER. HER METHOD OF WORK ALLOWS HER COLLAGE PIECES TO DEVELOP INTO AN ODDLY APOLITICAL ACCOUNT OF QUOTIDIAN LIFE.
