Who's Exploiting Who In The Deep Sea?

Von Bronin's exhibition Who's Exploiting Who In the Deep Sea/ brought together a series of works from 2006 onwards exploring the artist's affection for the creatures of the sea. Working with textiles, music, sculpture, performance, video and painting, her practice is varied and often collaborative in nature.

The artist's cast of characters are a host of contradictions - approachable creatures who are reminiscent of childhood companions are not what they seem. Weaving together humour with melancholy, these sculptures have ambiguous roles and feelings. von Bronin is able to use these creatures as agents to explore art history, popular culture and craft, as well as to destabilise perceived constructions of feminism. She has created her own crew to explore the deep sea, where as an analogy of the human condition it is a true place of the unknown.

The exhibition was co-curated by Director Sarah McCrory and SculptureCentre Curator Ruba Katrib. The exhibition opened in September 2016 at SculptureCentre, New York
