CAROL BOVE – NIGHTS OF CABIRIA

Posted on 2025-09-29

In Nights of Cabiria, Bove reflects on the industrial heritage of Los Angeles as a Cold War–era center for precision aerospace and weapons manufacturing, along with subcultural expressions of that focus such as surfboard production, with its devotion to perfect surface finish. The exhibition design responds to the unique architectural features of the Beverly Hills gallery and makes use of reclaimed structural scaffolding components called “soldier beams.” This scaffolding, intended for applications in civil engineering, provides the components for an architectural folly that supports two of the sculptures and partially reconfigures the gallery space.

Opposite – Idiopathic Abstraction, 2020-25

Exhibition runs through to November 1st, 2025
