Congratulations to Nina Chanel Abney and moCA Cleveland on the opening of Abney's latest solo museum presentation, "Big Butch Synergy," on view January 28 – June 11, 2023.
For this exhibition, Abney debuts a new body of work, created at the Pace Prints studios and presented in two shows, one at ICA Miami, "Big Butch Energy," and one at moCa Cleveland, "Big Butch Synergy." The series explores and celebrates expressions of Black masculine women and those who resist hetero- or cis-normative gender roles. In moCa’s multi-space presentation, Abney will create a site-responsive monumental artwork on the museum’s ground floor and a new series of gallery-installed large-scale paintings that all teem with her bold, pictorial language and characteristically impactful expressions.
