Sextet, a solo exhibition by Isabelle Albuquerque, was on at Los Angeles’ Nicodim, running September 12 to October 17.

With hyperreal sculptures made from headless casts of the artist, the show explored the fleeting and embodied natures of emotion, sexuality and social experience. As noted in the press release, to Albuquerque the body “soaks in its surroundings through osmosis—a fight with a lover, a brush with the sublime, a crying child, an uncomfortably wet sock on a frigid evening—and fills itself with experience, only to gradually let these moments slip away again in some form.”**
