Rosalind Nashashibi at GRIMM

Coinciding with Frieze London, GRIMM presents Rosalind Nashashibi's first solo exhibition at the gallery's London location, following two major institutional shows by the artist this year – "Get Me A Stone" at Artium Museoa in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and "Stones" at KM21 in The Hague. For Nashashibi, the history of painting serves as a constant reflection on composition in relation to the historical moments in which her own work emerges, and the British-Palestinian artist turns, in this recent production, to her emotional and political engagement with the events in Palestine over the last two and a half years. In contrast to the brutality of the images witnessed during this period, she uses painting as an affective medium to situate herself within a shared history and experience, capturing intimate and everyday moments in a deeply personal way – also investigating collective history, power structures, and modes of coexistence.
