Bio: Nate Lewis, 37, Harlem (@nloois)
Title of work: tuning the calibration of his weather (2022).
Where to see it: “Tuning the Current” at Fridman Gallery (169 Bowery, New York) until Oct. 23.
Three words to describe it: Transcendent, meditative, powerful.
How it reflects your practice as a whole: There’s this macro, micro, movement relationship thing happening. The lines in the background are made by a print, frottage process, they feel like sound waves, a frequency or wind movement. There’s a movement that happens in the patterns in the legs, and also a more micro pattern movement that is happening in the picked area in the lower left of the piece, that feels cellular, molecular or even feel like the movement of the bird starling murmurations. I’m interested in systems/languages and the relationships between them. From the multi-layer systems in our bodies to the systems of weather and the broader relationships of them to movement and cultural output. This piece encapsulates some of that.
