Brie Ruais: Penumbra

December 01 - December 23,2023

From Seven Sisters:

"For her first solo exhibition at Seven Sisters, Ruais composes a site-specific installation with the requisite actors for an eclipse: the sun, the moon, and the Earth. In front of Performing the Eclipse of Three Bodies, 130lbs + 130lbs, 2023, surrounded by a radial arc of stones, the viewer is positioned as the fourth body in the cast of the penumbra: a space of partial illumination between a perfect shadow and full light. In the undefined margins between the sacred and profane and the magic of the night occurring during the day, Ruais engages with the wonder, uncertainty, and phenomena that ground our daily lives."
