Sargent’s Daughters is excited to present Carnival of the Animals, Scott Csoke’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Taking its title from the 1886 composition by Camille Saint-Saëns, the paintings appropriate and reframe art historical depictions of animals as expressive avatars of queer experiences. Presented in a site-specific installation by the artist, Csoke’s swans, hounds, and cranes play with ideas of decoration, gender, and humor.
