A.C.Q. I 2017

"A.C.Q. I" is a 2017 installation by Senga Nengudi, known for her exploration of race, gender, and the body in her artwork. This piece is characteristic of her work, utilizing simple materials like rope, wire, and metal to create a visually arresting, yet conceptually complex installation. The combination of hanging and standing forms creates a tension between the static and the dynamic, while the use of industrial materials evokes a sense of both strength and vulnerability. Nengudi's work often challenges conventional notions of beauty and identity, prompting viewers to reconsider their own assumptions and perceptions.
