Rose B. Simpson, Legacies, 2022, exhibition view at Institute of Contemporary Art Boston.
Exhibition Review
Chaisson, Caitlin. “Rose B. Simpson.” frieze magazine, no. 231 (2022): 150.
A darkened atmosphere pervades Rose B. Simpson’s solo exhibition ‘Legacies’ at ICA/Boston, like a cloudy sky calling for rain. Figurative clay sculptures appear on raised platforms in the open gallery. Their resemblances disclose familial relations amongst those in the room and, as the title of the exhibition suggests, to relatives beyond. Simpson herself comes from a long line of accomplished ceramicists from Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico, including her mother, Roxanne Swentzell, her late grandmother, Rina Swentzell and her late great-grandmother, Rose Naranjo.
