Gray Wielebinski's 'Bring Me Men' Explores Queer Desire and Masculinity at Nicoletti, London

exhibition · 2026-05-29

Gray Wielebinski's show, 'Bring Me Men,' is on display at Nicoletti in London from May 28 to July 4. The exhibition showcases collages and sculptural pieces that delve into masculinity as influenced by consumer culture and personal artifacts. A key installation features keepsake boxes filled with items such as a Truman Capote book, images of half-dressed athletes, and a gold chain, all adorned with cutouts of nude men from magazines. In the work 'A Man' (all pieces from 2026), Wielebinski incorporates paper Abercrombie & Fitch bags to emphasize the connection between consumerism and male identity, while the piece 'Now What? Universe Box' asserts, 'You have a right to be here…' ArtReview's September 2026 review of the exhibition reflects on how masculinity is shaped throughout one's life.
