Exhibition Text

Babst Gallery is pleased to present Creatrix, a solo exhibition of oil paintings, works on paper, and ceramics by Nora Berman. Presented alongside these works are video sculptures informed by the artist’s live streaming practice. Regularly since 2021, Berman broadcasts immersive, experimental livestreams from her studio, where she paints, performs, and co-exists with her viewers in a bizarre environment shaped by her own visual art.
