Friedman Benda will open Salut, Ça va, c’est moi, the fourth solo exhibition by Carmen D’Apollonio, on September 11. Known for her playful and idiosyncratic approach, the Swiss-born, Los Angeles–based artist expands her practice here with new materials and sculpted glass lampshades, pushing her work toward greater dimensionality and narrative depth.
The exhibition unfolds like a theatrical set, populated by personified lamps that perform across the gallery space — leaning, dripping, suspending, and wandering. D’Apollonio’s new glass elements amplify the dialogue between form, light, and shadow, revealing more of what was once hidden behind linen shades. Titles such as Why fall in love when you can’t fall asleep and If you ever have forever highlight her use of language as a candid, humorous, and empathetic extension of her practice, drawing viewers into a direct conversation that is both intimate and universal.
