PRESS RELEASE

​​

James Hillman’s book The Dream and the Underworld depicts two worlds running in parallel: our day-world, where we spend our waking lives, and the underworld, where we dream, where our myths are born, and where our day-logic is useless. At night, we become aware of the underworld, but this shadow world always exists, all day long, just as the day-world continues to exist while we dream. Separating these worlds is soil.

Mister Fahrenheit is very pleased to present a solo exhibition by N. Dash. Grounding the space with new paintings, this site-responsive installation probes the capacities of touch along with visible and invisible forms of energy – bodily, architectural, and environmental – through material, beginning with earth itself.

The artist has presented solo exhibitions at institutions including SITE Santa Fe, New Mexico (2023–24); Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (SMAK), Ghent (2022); Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, California (2019–20); The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Connecticut (2019); Fondazione Giuliani, Rome (2017); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2014); and White Flag Projects, St. Louis (2013).
