ALLIE HORICK: KITH AND KIN

COOP Gallery / 507 Hagan St. September 6 - 27th (Reception: September 6 1:00pm - 9:00pm)

Allie Horick

COOP is pleased to present Kith and Kin, a solo exhibition by Allie Horick. Kith and Kin is an installation-based exploration of family, death, connection, and impermanence, using soil collected from cemeteries and meaningful places tied to Horick’s ancestry. The exhibition features one soil quilt inspired by a family pattern, alongside the remnants of a prior quilt—now a mixed pile of soils symbolizing entanglement and transformation. Accompanied by maps, photographs, and portraits of each soil sample from collection sites, the installation invites viewers to witness both its creation and de-installation, highlighting themes of entanglement and connection to place. Both this ritual of de-installation, as well as the installation of the quilts (laying of soil) are important parts of the exhibition and open to the public.

This will be Horick’s second soil-based installation in Nashville and the artist will be present at the installation and de-installation of the exhibition, in addition to the Opening Reception on September 6. The public is invited to Coop Gallery during Public Installation and De-Installation of the exhibition at the dates and times listed below.
