Indecent Exposure
Theo Bignon
AUGUST 2019
Indecent Exposure features a series of new work by resident artist Théo Bignon. Somewhere in-between the reconstitution of an ornate living room, a series of intricate and perverse embroideries and a capsule collection of mesh tank tops, this exhibition considers the house as a site of forbidden desire, untameable sexuality and voyeuristic play.

After getting a BA in Political Science and Cultural History from Sciences Po Paris, he moved to the US first in Pittsburgh, PA through the University of Pittsburgh Studio Art Department, then in Richmond, VA.
