Sam Anderson
There’s a Girl in My Soup
April 1 - May 31, 2025
Opening Saturday, April , 6-8pm

‘There's a Girl in My Soup’ presents a group of assemblaged works and drawings by New York-based artist Sam Anderson. Here, Anderson continues her investigation of formal structures and their poetic and psychological implications through the rigorous arrangements of objects and materials.  

Central to the exhibition are works organized around triadic structures—a formal strategy historically tied to narrative completion. Anderson subverts these narratives by locking unlikely elements in relationships of mutual dependence and conflict. This approach reveals the inherent absurdity of exhibition-making, framing the gallery as a kind of black box theater, where meaning is implied through minimally staged encounters.  

Anderson employs ambiguously embodied imagery that draws on cultural memory while resisting fixed interpretation. These works leverage the viewer's familiarity with tragic figures and other archetypal forms, deconstructing narratives through destabilized material interventions.
