Adding to the charged, gender-fluid tenor of the installation, ceiling-hung grow lights bathe the entire gallery in a feminizing, soft pink-purple light that also benefits a small tangerine tree in the center of the room. (@Davidebony @artinamerica ) It’s endearing to witness how this small tangerine tree flourished and grew throughout the run of the exhibition. These are the final days to visit #LevanMindiashvili’s #soloshow what color is the Black Sea? The exhibition closes on Wednesday, May 12 and the gallery will remain open daily, 1-6 pm. #EcologyOfMind #Nursery #Rupture #Emergence #ReconstructingSelf #BlackSea #ecologyofMind #GenderFluid #QueerArtist

We are so grateful for this nuanced, thoughtful and touching review of #LevanMindiashvili’s current show by brilliant @davidebony for @artinamerica: Positioned at a child’s height on one wall, the show’s title appears in cursive white neon lettering that has been painted black on the front, so that the letters appear backlit by a halo of light. This poetic fragment corresponds to Glenn Ligon’s 2009 wall-hung neon work Untitled (America), in which block letters spelling the w...ord America are painted black on the front side, allowing only limited illumination of the wall behind. Ligon’s work is a wry comment on segregation and America’s double standard of equality. Mindiashvili’s piece is a similarly potent statement about negation and rejection. It conveys a feeling of displacement and ostracization that for him began at age three on the shores of the Black Sea.
