Nocturne, 2005
Oscillating between varying levels of flux of abstraction and figuration, Bachhuber’s sculptures can be read as three- dimensional representations of psychological states in which a certain eeriness and uncanny humor prevail.
La femme, la tête, et son aménagement, 2004
In La femme, la tête, et son aménagement, a furniture element has been freed of its rational functionality to exist as a kind of human body whose skin and guts have been turned inside out. This non-functional psycho- cabinet includes a mirror, a pillow, orange dyed rabbit furs, cast bones and vinyl tubes wrapped in yarn, which altogether evoke a feeling of uncanny ness within the boxed form of the container.
Untitled, 2004, Ink on paper
Them, 2004
Maison mammifere, 2006
Her drawings circulate around the human body, its fragments and abstractions. Abstraction has led her to the exploration and inclusion of geometry within the drawings, making reference to structures, architecture and nature. While avoiding a linear narrative, they rather tell a story of fragmented truths (or lies), memories and desires.
Nina Lola Bachhuber has exhibited in venues such as PS1/MoMA ("Greater New York 2005), Metro Pictures,NY, UCLA Hammer Museum, Drawing Center, NY, Susanne Vielmetter LA Projects, Gallery Min Min, Tokyo, The Moore Space, Miami.
Her work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, NY.
Wintergoetzen, 2005
Wintergötzen (Winter Idols), 2005 is a spare, minimalist-inflected sculpture comprising two looming, upright black forms made of carved polystyrene wrapped in calfskin and dyed in inky black. Strung around both forms near the bottoms are cheesy necklaces made of wooden balls wrapped in aluminum foil.
