KALINER is pleased to present Dana Nechmad’s inaugural solo exhibition with the gallery Holding On To Nothing Is Not The Same As Letting Go. The exhibition features drawings with embroidery on paper, textiles and a site specific drawing installation.
Dana Nechmad’s work explores how our identity, gender and power structures are shaped by the stories and images we inherit. Working across drawing, textile and embroidery, Nechmad combines personal experiences with references to art history, and western cultural traditions, creating scenes in which the familiar narratives begin to unravel.
In this body of work, Nechmad returns to fragments of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture’symbols of authority. Rather than reconstructing these histories as coherent stories, she reimagines them through unexpected encounters and shifting relationships. Her figures inhabit a world where the past and present overlap, and where the boundaries between the personal and the historical remain uncertain.
