Harmony Hammond
White Cube
September 12—November 3
The artist, curator, author, and activist Harmony Hammond is recognized as a pivotal figure in New York’s 1970s feminist art movement. Hammond’s work often lies in the unique space between painting and sculpture, and treats the canvas as a metaphorical body where surface and skin meet, aiming to bring sociopolitical ideas into the world of abstraction. The works on view (dating from 1971 to 2019) include pieces like Bandaged Quilt #1, a near-monochrome which leaves one blood-red slit of canvas exposed, and Bag VI, in which Hammond used recycled material to form the shape of a handbag, referencing the gendered body and women’s traditional textile arts.
