Nikita Gale’s work applies the lens of material culture to consider how authority is negotiated within political, social and economic systems. The LA-based artist holds a BA in Anthropology with an emphasis in Archaeological Studies from Yale University and earned an MFA in New Genres at UCLA. Gale's exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery marks her first European institutional solo show. Her work has been exhibited recently at 52 Walker (New York); MoMA PS1 (New York); Kunstraum Kreuzberg (Berlin); Swiss Institute (New York); California African American Museum (Los Angeles); Cubitt (Los Angeles); The Studio Museum in Harlem (New York); and in Made in L.A. 2018 at the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles). Gale is represented by Commonwealth & Council (LA), 56 Henry (NYC) and Reyes | Finn (Detroit).

''A meaningful reflection on 21st century artmaking with some of the most pre-eminent thinkers on the theme. The conversations that arrive with Gale's work at Chisenhale and beyond are essential landmarks in how we discuss contemporary art practices today. Altogether these conversations – alongside Gale's visual interludes – are formatted into a beautiful publication.'' - Katy Hessel
