Buddy System II
Deanna Evans Projects
Deanna Evans Projects is pleased to present Buddy System II, opening on July 10th. For this exhibition, four artists—Lindsay M Burke, Dominique Fung, Delphine Hennelly and Rose Nestler—were asked to show their work alongside a buddy of their choice. The buddy’s work must inspire them and can either relate to the artist’s practice or be vastly different.
Lindsay M Burke & Lauren Luloff
Dominique Fung & Angela Heisch
Delphine Hennelly & Kirsten Deirup
Rose Nestler & Virginia Lee Montgomery
