Jeannette Ehlers (August 28 - September 25, 2023)

Following the gallery’s presentation of jeannette ehlers work at chart art fair in august, sharp projects opens a solo exhibition by the artist — the exhibit includes artworks that have been previously displayed at chart, among others.

The exhibition features photographs and canvas from the performance titled ‘whip it good’ that took place in new orleans (2016) and at the danish royal cast collection / the west indian warehouse (2014). 'Untitled' (2023) is a new work-in-progress that peeks from the corner of the gallery space, with a singular braid made from synthetic hair dipped in ship varnish, reminiscent of a whip. Ehlers' work uses cultural traditions of the african diaspora such as braiding, ritualistic body painting, and performance while referencing the impact of the slave trade and colonialism, encompassing both contextual and material aspects. ‘Whip it Good’ was originally commissioned by art labour archives and ballhaus naunynstrasse in berlin, de for be.bop (Black europe body politics) in 2013.

Jeannette Ehlers is a Copenhagen-based artist of danish and trinidadian descent whose practice takes shape experimentally across photography, video, installation, sculpture and performance. She graduated from the royal danish arts academy of fine arts (2006). ehlers is the co-creator of the public sculpture project, i am queen mary (2018).
