Julia Scher

Press release

Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Let them know your scarlet heat, let them glisten, a presentation by Julia Scher who has had six solo exhibitions with the gallery. On view will be two important historical works from her iconic Surveillance Beds series, sculptural works integrating technological and surveillance equipment. The title, a quotation from Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass in which the poet writes of bloody drops of desire and confession, refers to a central ambivalence in Scher’s work between pleasure, pain, and intimacy.
