Luhring Augsutine is pleased to present the first U.S. solo exhibition of works by the late London-based, Brazilian-born artist Lucia Nogueira (1950-1998). Inaugurating Luhring Augustine's new Tribeca location, the exhibtion brings together an important selection of the artist’s drawings and sculptures made between 1983 and 1995. Accompanying the exhibition in Tribeca, this Online Viewing Room includes videos about Nogueira's compelling practice by independent curator Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro, and art historian and collector Estrellita Brodsky.
"... [T]here's often the sense in her work that something or somebody has just happened, that what you're seeing is a kind of spirit or an essence, a sense of something that passed through and left some kind of trace in the air."

– Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro
"The subjects in these works on paper are never really clear yet one is constantly left with an unsettling sense of amazement, discomfort, or bewilderment."

– Estrellita Brodsky

This video is an excerpt of a longer discussion of Nogueria's work by Estrellita Brodsky. The full audio can be found at the end of this Viewing Room.
"The magic emerges from the juxtaposition of these objects and the spaces between them. They seem to be engaged in a conversation that we cannot fully understand, but that we recognize as one, as if in a foreign language."

– Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro
