American Pest

Oct 19–Nov 23, 2024 / Katia David Rosenthal Gallery (KDR) / Miami, FL

American Pest’ is the duo’s first solo exhibition in the wake of a global pandemic that forever altered the worlds that we inhabit. It is the duo’s most extravagant, excessive, and abundant presentation of new work yet. It is also the pair’s most abstract exhibition; the process and the making will take their final form in the gallery in the installation, with the viewer, the atmosphere comprising ‘American Pest.’

‘American Pest’ features over 400 new works by the collaborative duo that has been making art for over a decade.  Embedded in their practice, it’s crux is connection – and the space of possibility in dislocation, reconnection, reconvening, recalibration, and regeneration.
