Sara Shaoul | Brooklyn, NY
Hunter College, 2014, MFA
Sara Shaoul had her first solo exhibition in 2015, Strange Labor, which was exhibited at Bookyln, a book arts space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Strange Labor examined the congruencies between the female fertility cycle and and the cycles of the market which mirror each other in interesting ways. This body of work explores the relationships between abstract capital systems and the body.
I charted my own cycle for 7 months – you can see my Feb 2015 chart covering the table. My chart often resembled a classic 28 stock pattern known as "Three Peaks and a Domed House." In studying both reproductive and economic charts, I found that the stock chart for a "bubble" – which in financial terms refers to the divergence of market price from intrinsic value, resulting in a "crash" – resembles the chart for miscarriage.
Sara also curated her first exhibition at 601 Art Space called My Brother is a Liar, a group exhibition featuring work from Janine Antoni, Richard Artschwager, Patty Chang, Jamie Diamond, Anthony Goicolea, Neil Goldberg, Las Hermanas Iglesias, Mary Kelly, Cindy Sherman & Richard Prince, and Bryan Zanisnik. My Brother is a Liar engages and explores familial dynamics of intimacy and sentimentality.
The Georgia Fee residency gave me the time and resources to explore ideas that are still influencing my work today. The folks at ArtSlant are incredible supportive and I continue to feel connected to the ArtSlant community.
