Virgin Soap
Virgin Soap - a solo exhibition of photographs and sculpture by Ilona Szwarc. In this new body of work, the Polish American artist documents herself casting a model’s torso in silicone and plaster. The model lies prone on a table, her breasts exposed, classically posed against an electric blue backdrop. A perverse tutorial proceeds: Szwarc stands behind the model, a presence at once intimate and coercive. The artist binds her subject’s breasts with laces to measure them, then covers the model’s breasts, shoulders, and mouth in green silicone. - Diane Rosenstein Gallery

Unsex Me Here
Set in a dreamlike borderland somewhere between the glitz of Hollywood Regency and the forests of European fairy tales, Unsex me here is an ambiguous parable about sex, nature, memory, and repressed wildness. The title of the exhibition is derived from William Shakespeare’s character Lady Macbeth, and her plea to unclean spirits to transform her from a soft-hearted woman into someone capable of unflinching acts of “direst cruelty.” Szwarc finds her subject, like Lady Macbeth, in a moment of arrested psychological and bodily change, with all the nascent dangers those developments entail. Unsex me here is Szwarc’s most narrative body of work to date. - Make Room
