TAMARA KOSTIANOVSKY. “MOVED BY FORCES” AT SLAG&RX NEW YORK
Until October 25, 2025, SLAG&RX New York presents Moved by Forces, the latest solo exhibition by Tamara Kostianovsky, an Argentine-American artist whose practice lies at the intersection of ecology, feminism, and material memory. The exhibition offers an immersive exploration of her research, where sculpture becomes a tool for examining the relationships between body, nature, and social structure, through a masterful use of fabric as a living, symbolic flesh. At the core of the exhibition is a series of five new textile “carcass” sculptures.

ANNE VON FREYBURG: IRONY AND SOCIAL CRITIQUE BETWEEN ORNAMENT AND IDENTITY
|by Maria Rosaria Roseo | Anne von Freyburg, a Dutch artist born in 1979, initially trained as a fashion designer at ArtEZ in Arnhem, then completed a master’s degree in Fine Art at Goldsmiths University in London, where she currently lives and works.
