Abigail Deville
Abigail Deville is a Bronx-born contemporary artist that focuses on bringing attention to the forgotten stories and narratives through the use of her location specific installations. Her works focus on these stories that are lost in the process of gentrification and racist violence and policies.
With projects that take up to months of preparation, Deville conducts intensive research and finds the raw materials for her installations on site. She quoted, “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” Through her artwork, she contemplates on her connection to the world and universe around her.
Despite the long time it takes for her to finish her pieces, Deville has numerous stacked up under her portfolio. She has created numerous stage sets such as, “Intersection 2014,” and “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” as well as video/performance pieces such as, “Harlem Stories.” Whether it be stage sets, videos, paintings, or installations, Deville aims to reclaim personal narrative and incite the “invisible conversations you have with yourself inside.”
What surprised me the most about her presentation and work was that she reused her old artwork and created new ones, like how she reused parts of the “Intersection 2014” set pieces to create “Double Invisibility.” While I knew before that it was fine to take inspiration from other artist’s works, I have never seen someone recycle their old work and reuse it to enhance the meaning and content of their new ones. It was a shock, as well as a refreshing realization, to see that Deville did that.
