Wainscott

Tripoli Gallery, 26 Ardsley Road in Wainscott, will open a new exhibition “Birds,” featuring drawings and sculptures by Mamoun Nukumanu, with a reception on Saturday, May 3, from 5 to 9 p.m. The show revisits Nukumanu’s living sculptures, which have been growing outside the gallery in Wainscott over the past year, going dormant this past winter and rebudding this spring, as the artist repositioned and maneuvered each work. This exhibition culminates his residency, which began on March 25, 2024. Nukumanu is an earth based interdisciplinary artist and ecological composer who weaves living tapestries that entangle trees, birds, bees, and humans across scales. Through this convergence of beings, a polyphonic symphony emerges through space and time. Nukumanu utilizes a process-based approach, harvesting and processing local materials into organic scaffolds that guide trees. These forms create voids that act as metamorphic nests to birth new realities. “Birds” will remain on view through June 2. For more information, visit tripoligallery.com.
