Overview

Elizabeth Xi Bauer is delighted to announce Home with a Man, a duo exhibition bringing together artists Alexandre da Cunha and Brian Griffiths. Since first exhibiting together in São Paulo in 2002, the pair have reconnected at key points in their careers—across continents, exhibitions, and academic contexts. This exhibition marks a significant chapter in their conversation—a moment of convergence that casts new light on their distinct yet subtly interconnected sculptural practices. 

Through shared themes of material transformation, narrative tension, and the reordering of the everyday, Home with a Man invites viewers into a layered dialogue between the two artists. Together, they explore domesticity and scripted roles through sculpture, installation, and painting. The exhibition title, borrowed from da Cunha’s Exile series (2022–2025), could be read like a line from a diary or a cheap romance novel, direct yet ambiguous and emotionally charged. Home with a Man builds through staged gestures and altered objects - where the domestic life operates as both routine and fantasy, and the ordinary slips into something less certain.
