Asia Stewart: dreamgurl

A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce dreamgurl, an exhibition by 2022–23 Fellow Asia Stewart. dreamgurl features a series of self-portraits that explore the production and reproduction of sexually explicit images. This is Stewart’s first solo exhibition in New York City.

In dreamgurl, Stewart offers up abstracted flesh for consumption. She invites audiences to be unashamed about their voyeurism as they move through the gallery and delight in eyeing (and occasionally fingering or trying on) the collaged pieces. Yet, in this project of exposure, Stewart reveals herself on her own terms. Subverting general assumptions of the “nude selfie” by cloaking herself in images of others, Stewart largely keeps her own body hidden.
