Facet Autumn 2023

Nancy Baker Cahill: Through Lines October 28, 2023 – May 19, 2024

“Southern/Modern” is the first project to comprehensively survey the rich array of paintings and works on paper created in the American South during the first half of the 20th century.

“Nancy Baker Cahill: Through Lines” highlights the artist’s interdisciplinary artistic practice and the role of emerging technologies in contemporary art.

Nancy Baker Cahill’s work examines ideas of systemic power, conscious- ness, the human body and the impact of humans on the biosphere.

This mid-career survey exhibition is Baker Cahill’s first solo museum show. Expanding on her background in traditional media, the artist rede- fines the possibilities of drawing in contemporary art. She begins with finely rendered graphite drawings that evolve into torn paper sculptures, then scans and animates them into 3D digital immersive videos. The drawings, altered by software, later reappear as single cinematic frames in the form of fine art prints.
