Silly Girl
- All Day | Thursday October 22, 2026
- | Ace Hotel New York
Almendra Bertoni is pleased to present Silly Girl, a solo exhibition questioning the roles femininity is asked to inhabit.
Bertoni examines the historical archetypes of the Virgin, the Madonna, the Temptress and the Muse, looking to what these archetypes have come to embody in a contemporary context.
With an air of otherworldliness, her figurative paintings combine multilayered wooden panels to create dreamlike scenes of contorted bodies and airy architectural spaces.
Bertoni’s practice continues to ask how feminine creativity in an art historical context is often categorized as frivolous, decorative, naive, or merely playful and whether those qualities can be alchemized into power and freedom.
Silly Girl embodies the wish to be taken seriously without having to perform seriousness.

Boxed In: An Exhibit by Corey Walsh and Malik Roberts at Gallery
This exhibit gives a look into all the boxes we are placed in/ place ourselves in—identities, expectations, routines, institutions, and beliefs—and asks us to consider how those structures provide safety, and how they can stifle us or create limitations. As an artist, creating and mastering a signature style is every artist’s goal. What happens when that style becomes limiting? When the fear of not being received well makes stepping outside the box to a new style or medium discouraging? The…
