Pace is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of works by Genesis Belanger in London at its Hanover Square gallery, on view from October 9 to November 9.
 

For In the Right Conditions we are Indistinguishable, Belanger will probe the shifting complexities of self-curation, domestic labor, and our relationship with nature through fourteen new sculptural groups. These works, rendered in the artist’s most saturated palette to date, mark an exciting evolution of subject and material in Belanger’s practice.

Working across porcelain and stoneware, metal, wood, and painting, New York based Genesis Belanger creates tableaux that draw from, and critique, the aesthetics of capitalist production and consumption. Her work is characterized by an idiosyncratic visual language that repurposes everyday objects into often seductive, yet unsettling, surrogates for human emotions and societal anxieties. Informed by her experience as a prop-styling assistant, Belanger’s installations mimic the semiotic strategies of advertising—using beauty, nostalgia, and humor to evoke psychological responses. Yet, in Belanger’s hands, these familiar symbols are recontextualized, shifting from tools of persuasion to agents of critical reflection.
