Naama Tsabar

Naama Tsabar employs performance, sculpture, and photography to subvert the gender roles historically associated with musicianship. In her second exhibition at Kasmin, Dedicated, Tsabar further explores these themes by expanding the borders of movement of the female body. For the duration of the exhibition, Tsabar and a group of female musicians will explore a new vocabulary of movement and sound, culminating in a performance with Tsabar and her collaborators on the exhibition’s closing night, May 4, between 4-6pm. This will be her first performance in New York City since 2017.

This summer, Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to present Transboundary, the gallery’s first exhibition with the New York-based Naama Tsabar. Known for performances, installations and sculpture informed by aspects of music and nightlife, Tsabar focuses on the often hidden elements and materials that are at play in constructing physically immersive environments. Her practice oscillates between visual arts and music with reconfigurations of guitars, strings, amplifiers, microphones, cables, gaffer tape and speakers. When interacted with, these objects offer compositions that are both visual and sonic.
