Lubov

Presentation Details
Lubov will dedicate a solo presentation to paintings and sculpture by Connor Marie Stankard. The cyborgian girl subjects of her canvases are the product of the AI-based image creation tool Artbreeder, which enables users to edit a face’s “genes” or “crossbreed” one photograph with others. Extrapolated from images of aspirational celebrity muses, the resulting machine-born mutations amp up the traits of conventional feminine beauty to the point of monstrosity, so they appear “hardly human at all.” Stankard’s visceral multimedia practice explores art-making as a Frankensteinian science experiment, shapeshifting between paint, olfactory potions, video, and narrative writing.

About the Gallery
Lubov is a contemporary art gallery established in 2016 by Francisco Correa Cordero that supports the production and exhibition of new work by emerging artists through commissions and solo exhibitions working collaboratively with writers and curators. The gallery organizes approximately six solo exhibitions and one group exhibition per year.
