Cynthia Talmadge, Winter Break, 2022

This poster, featuring Cynthia Talmadge’s ‘Modern Sculpture’ (2022), was produced for the artist’s 2022 solo exhibition ‘Winter Break’ with Carl Kostyál in London. The six pieces in this exhibition transported us to the campuses of liberal arts colleges and universities in the northeastern United States, deserted over the winter holidays. The works in Winter Break are emotive and suffused with a pervasive sense of melancholy – what Talmadge has described as “the feeling of being the only person left in the dorms over winter break.” Winter Break is a continuation of Talmadge’s unfolding engagement with the darker corners of the firmament of American cultural history as it is the vacation or the descent into psychosis its title might imply.
