Jules Maeght Gallery is pleased to present Asphalt Jungle, a multi-disciplinary exploration of Tracey Snelling’s work in sculpture and installation. Asphalt Jungle is the Oakland and Berlin based artist’s second exhibition at the gallery, and first solo exhibition. Asphalt Jungle invites the audience to enter Tracey Snelling’s universe: an intricate display of both intimate and monumental sculptural recreations and imaginations of an increasingly complex society. Handcrafted homes, rooms, and slums are alit with neon lights, found and created video footage, collaged photographs and collected sounds.
