“Material forms of dissent fascinate artist Nikita Gale. Certain objects—like the electric guitar or thepolicebarricade—surfaceagainandagain in Gale’s practice. What intentions, projections, and habits in uence the shape and design of these items? How do they contribute to the cultural imaginary of the “rebel” or “protestor”? Gale, who has an Anthropology degree from Yale, uses her work to interrogate the adversarial position contained within particular physical arrangements. Attention is placed on what can arise out of these formulations, in terms of group dynamics and listening.”
