CROSSFIRE Opens November 20, 6p.
Solo exhibition in the Abguss-Sammlung Antiker Plastik Berlin
Exhibition runs from November 20, 2025 - February 8, 2026 (Thurs. - Sundays, 2:00 - 5:00pm). Entrance is free.
From the Collection press release:
“In dialogue with the extensive collection of plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures, Jac Carley stages a contemporary encounter between the myths of classical antiquity and their protagonists. Her action paintings on large-format paper testify to the power and emotion of gesture. They reflect the timeless tension between chaos and order. Fire, anger, conflict—these are foundations of ancient ‘creation myths’ that live on in the sculptures. And those same descriptors articulate the underlying mood of our contemporary world—rage, struggle, war.
“Known for her interdisciplinary practice bridging choreography, text, and visual installation, in CROSSFIRE, Jac Carley situates the human figure within a field of opposing forces, reflecting both the legacy of antiquity and the urgencies of today's social and political climate. In CROSSFIRE, Jac Carley’s works dialogue with prominent ‘characters’ in the Abguss-Sammlung’s permanent collection. The works invite viewers to move between stillness and confrontation, to take a moment to experience how contemporary and ancient bodies share a history of conflict and resilience.”

I’ve taken time to create videos of Walk & Talks through my solo exhibitions, working process descriptions, and trailers of completed projects. These short videos offer background and depth. My channel has been picked up by YouTube, the videos are now surfacing under ‘recommended for you’ for total strangers. The response has been quite satisfying.
