'Bolero Bordello' reflects Matthew Lutz-Kinoy’s interest in mirroring music within the design of the exhibition. The legacy of the Ballets Russes resonates throughout the show, with dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky standing out among its most luminous figures. Nijinsky’s radical choreography and magnetic performances epitomized the troupe’s daring spirit. The works on view engage with the iconic and dramatic narratives of this historic company: flowers painted at human scale imaginatively evoke Nijinsky as an anthropomorphic, thorned rose.
