The Hole is excited to present Womanizer, a solo exhibition by Caitlin Cherry, the artist's second with the gallery. Through painting, sculpture and installation, Caitlin Cherry creates a personal archive of Black popular culture on the internet through centering femme entertainers as her muses. Composed of celebrities from online image banks like Getty Images as well as sex workers, drag queens and social media influencers these eight paintings depict popular radical aesthetics within the global Black diaspora. Through a simulated moiré pattern system, Cherry is able to recreate the phenomena of the viewing Black women through a computer screen in order to express how contemporary Black femininity is co-produced by technology.
