Nancy Lupo Untitled, 2023 Mixed media, dimensions variable Courtesy the artist and Antenna Space
Nancy Lupo’s work often explores the latent quality of objects, spaces, and materials. In Untitled, Lupo brings together fragments and cannibalized elements from several works that explore the ubiquitous form of the Burger King crown and examples of the king cake crown used in Advent rituals. The face of the controversial spiritual leader Teal Swan appears on some of the elements as well as the artist’s own self-portrait rendered in pencil, alongside souvenir crowns from the inauguration of King Charles III. The blue cardboard box that once contained a pair of Prada boots here becomes the container for all of the elements, including small images of a giant phantom jellyfish and two of Lupo’s Teller sculptures that here she imagines as “the front and back covers of an epic story.” —SK
