N. Dash

This monograph is the first comprehensive overview of the work of N. Dash, exploring the paintings, drawings and photography of this New York and New Mexico based American artist. N. Dash uses natural as well as man-made materials such as earth, pigments, graphite, fabric, string, and found objects to construct conscious and intuitive abstractions, which draw on bodily movements and energy meridians, ecological systems, and other subtle or intangible structures. This volume includes major works from 2011 to 2021, and essays by Suzanne Hudson, Michael Taussig and others with a poem by John Giorno, which explore Dash's work in art historical, anthropological, and environmental contexts. N. DASH (*1980) studied at New York University and Columbia University. Selected institutional solo exhibitions include the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT and White Flag Projects, St. Louis, MO. Group exhibitions include San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; S.M.A.K. Ghent; Sammlung Goetz, Munich; The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, CA; The Jewish Museum, New York, NY and Palazzo Strozzi, Florence.

In 2022, N. Dash will have a solo exhibition at S.M.A.K in Ghent, Belgium.
