On view through June 10th, Black Noodles brings together both archival and new works, representing the artist’s first significant survey in New York City. Banerjee is known for creating artworks that evoke topics of colonization, race, gender, commerce, economics, and migration. In this exhibition, Black Noodles, mixed-media paintings that hang throughout the space could have been made by a voyager who recorded their encounters with wondrous beings on land and sea. Several of these are on large, buckling pieces of paper, as if Banerjee turned over a map or chart weathered from salty, wet air aboard her ship and jotted down the likeness of a beast she newly encountered. In the resulting works, animals, plants, and human figures dance together in radiant puffs of color, glittering texture, and singular geometries. In this wondrous world, characters seem to have a voice, implied by Banerjee’s titles that use the first-person pronoun, like in a work from 2022, I am not afraid of you said the Elephant to the Rodent. Narrating the adventure they are captured in by the artist, these creatures grapple with their world. “Take me I am yours” …said the Worm to her Bird. In fear, in danger, in love they are as fantastical and confused as characters in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream or The Tempest. Whoever washes up in Banerjee’s paper works seems to hail from such literary shores, characterologically rich. Is the title of Banerjee’s exhibition, Black Noodles, therefore a reference to characters who might figure such a description—hair of Medusa, dark serpents in rivers, eels or squid with long tentacles in the vast deep?」6月7日 5時23分
