Join us at Scroll (
@scroll.nyc ) on Saturday, April 25 at 2 PM for an exhibition walkthrough of Adèle Aproh’s (
@aprohdite ) solo exhibition, Performance Cancelled.
Performance Cancelled, Adèle Aproh’s second solo exhibition at Scroll, stages the preparation scenes before a performance that will never occur. Aproh is drawn to the fleeting moments before an event, drawing her figures in the process of transformation without a clear indication of what they are preparing for. In her work, Aproh pulls fashion and runway archives, graphic novels, films, and other artworks into personal and narrative dialogues.
Performance Cancelled speaks about women’s bodies, their femininity, and therefore the artist’s own. Working in her largest scale to date, Aproh works over long periods of time, allowing for shifting and layered interpretations. Aproh states, “The performance suggested by the title never happens. It remains suspended. What becomes visible instead is the work that precedes it: the contained tension, the act of construction. The backstage takes center stage. If there is a spectacle, it exists precisely there.”
