CHART presents hardening the braces, Whitney Oldenburg’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, featuring new sculptures and drawings. Using materials such as boat hulls, horse collars, and water containers, Oldenburg assembles large, anthropomorphic forms that reflect cycles of consumption, preparedness, and uncertainty. Her charcoal drawings echo skeletal and fossil-like structures, considering preservation, accumulation, and the fragile balance between human systems and the natural world.
