THE ERRANTRIES OF SARAH ALMEHAIRI AND BERNHARD BUHMANN
18 SEPT – 9 NOV 2024
The recent paintings of Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann enact profound re-routings. Through unexpected protrusions and punctures, the artists have initiated progressions in their stories that are, as the philosopher Édouard Glissant describes it, “a poetics of errantry,” both adventurous wanderings and rebellious
misdirections. Referencing forms and motifs from within their past works, the artists lure us in with the familiar, only to journey to new discoveries and connections. For Almehairi, this process entails a build-up of layers that may weave and collude, but remain—as the series title states—“off centered.” Inversely, within Buhmann’s latest works, an erasure has occurred, and this removal is at times a wound.
