A staple of the New York art scene since 1987, David Nolan Gallery established itself with locations in SoHo and Chelsea before making the Upper East Side its home in 2020. In the nearly 40 years since opening, David Nolan Gallery has staged early exhibitions by artists who would go on to become some of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art, including Richard Artschwager, Albert Oehlen, Gerhard Richter, and Rosemarie Trockel. For its first spring show, the gallery is mounting “Cutting Corners,” a solo exhibition of new work by leading American sculptor Mel Kendrick that opens March 7 and runs through April 13. Working in a variety of materials, including cast bronze,wood, concrete, rubber, and resin, Kendrick’s abstract work draws inspiration from minimalist and conceptual art to push the boundaries of form and material. Greatly interested in the artistic process and how we experience sculpture, Kendrick’s works are self-referential and invite viewers to consider each piece in relation to their own bodies.
