Tamara Kostianovsky

Cheekwood

Sun, May 4 - Jun 15
All day

FULL DESCRIPTION

One of the absolute gems of Nashville’s art scene is Cheekwood’s sculpture trail, an often underexplored trove of contemporary art that includes work by luminaries like Jenny Holzer, James Turrell and Virginia Overton. That’s a facet of Cheekwood that Tamara Kostianovsky, its 2025 Martin Shallenberger Artist-in-Residence, is likely to draw inspiration from. The Argentina-born, New York-based artist is known for making massive textile-based sculptures from discarded clothes. Her 2022 exhibit at SLAG&RX in New York included what appears to be a multicolored fallen tree that’s been divided into several sections, and the bisected tree rings are all made from different types of pastel fabrics. Other works include hanging slabs of meat that might remind you of Francis Bacon or that meat-locker scene in Rocky, depending on your cultural interests. Kostianovsky’s stay at Cheekwood extends through June 15, and although we’ve hopefully seen the end of this spring’s storms, Nashville’s wooded areas are still likely to bring her plenty of creative fodder.
