If you stand close enough to the action, with a glass to the wall, you can hear the sound of teeth being gritted
Tentoonstelling / presentatie
-
14-03-2024 t/m 05-05-2024
- Locatie: Jacqueline, Athens
- An exhibition featuring Ranice Henderson Crosby, Brianna Leatherbury and Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt, curated by Isabelle Sully. With gritted teeth and within a feminist history of necessary self-reliance, the three divert energy, attention and resources, functionalising their work on their own terms and finding escape routes from economic systems that fail them—all the while appearing otherwise compliant, their subversions ghostly and efficient.

Unbidden Tongues
Project
-
01-01-2020
- In samenwerking met: Publication Studio Rotterdam
- Locatie: Rotterdam, Rotterdam
- Unbidden Tongues publishes previously produced yet relatively uncirculated work by cultural practitioners busy with questions surrounding civility and civic life—particularly so in relation to language. Each title is staple bound, printed in black-and-white and made with the intention to keep production efforts low, easily reproducible and financially sustainable, so as to contribute as effectively as possible to a wider circulation of the work. It is edited by Isabelle Sully.

- Kunstverein is a not-for-profit membership organisation, a curatorial experiment and functioning domestic franchise with branches in Amsterdam, New York, Toronto, and Milan.Kunstverein aims to show practices, attempts and failures, of avant-garde artists (all ages) who have been undersung in contemporary art history.

Two In A Coffin
Tentoonstelling / presentatie
-
07-09-2019 t/m 06-10-2019
- In samenwerking met: Marwan
- Locatie: Fokke Simonszstraat 12, 1017 TG, Amsterdam
- Drawing its name from the history of the hospitalisation of childbirth—where, when confronted with an exponential increase in the number of deaths during birth and in order to cover up this institutional unpreparedness and negligence, hospitals began burying women in pairs—Two In A Coffin is a two-person exhibition by Valentina Curandi and Isabelle Sully that steams from the artists’ differing approaches to the effects of standardisation on both the gendered body and artistic production.

Transit Through Handshake
Tentoonstelling / presentatie
-
29-11-2018 t/m 23-12-2018
- In samenwerking met: The Physics Room
- Locatie: The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora, Christchurch
- Transit Through Handshake is an exhibition by Isabelle Sully that attempts to engage administration as a site of intervention. By taking a fictionalised female typist as its key protagonist and through including the work of Valentina Curandi and Anna Daučíková in supporting roles, it asks how we might come to think of the figure as someone who can reach in and breathe life into the protocols of administration.
