Remai Modern Hosts d harding's First North American Solo Exhibition
Remai Modern is hosting the inaugural solo exhibition in North America for d harding, an artist with roots in the Bidjara, Ghungalu, and Garingbal communities of Central Queensland, Australia. Titled "Transfer paintings," this exhibition showcases both new and existing pieces, highlighting insights gained from harding’s experiences with Indigenous peoples in Canada, Sweden, and Norway. The focus lies on the significance, history, and visibility of essential cultural colors within their original contexts, as well as how different cultures engage with similar color schemes. Featured works include abstract and monochromatic pigment creations on textiles and paper, structured through processes of folding and unfolding. The gallery notes that these surfaces encapsulate the narratives, journeys, knowledge, and power they embody. This event marks harding's first solo show in North America.
