At 22 East 2nd Street New York, Karma is pleased to present Maybe tomorrow, an exhibition of sculptural work by Woody De Othello. Woody De Othello (b. 1991, Miami) is based in San Francisco. His work is currently included in Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2021-2022, Othello was the subject of a solo exhibition, Hope Omens, at the John Michael Kohler Center, and was included in Quiet as It’s Kept, the 2022 Whitney Biennial. In Maybe tomorrow, the gallery becomes the site of an architectural intervention. Passing through the entrance to the gallery, a second doorway greets the viewer, behind which hides the exhibition. Inside, concrete floors and walls are covered up, transformed by wooden floorboards and vibrant green walls. Within them, Othello has created a site of transportation where a multitude of mise-en-scenes are staged, and the passage of time is replaced with a strange current. Othello describes the first time he touched clay as an epiphany, in which “he just knew.” This encounter emanates from the core of his practice, in which he gives personal shape to the world around him and mundane objects become doorways into the domain of the spirit. 🎊✨ @woodyothello @karmakarma9 ✨🎊 1-3.
