NAÏVY, Maximillian William Gallery

Coco Capitán’s exhibition ‘NAÏVY: in fifty (definitive) photographs’, will be on view at Maximillian William Gallery in London from May 4 – June 24.

Anchored in her ever-evolving photography practice, the show will exhibit the fifty definitive photographs of the artist’s now complete Naïvy series. Naïvy has captivated Capitán for over a decade. Navigating themes of adventure, belonging and loss of innocence, the series pays tribute to an imagined nautical universe, one peopled by Capitán’s ‘Lost Naïvy’ sailors.

The series was initially exhibited in its entirety at the Parco Museum, Tokyo. In conjunction with the show, the Parco Museum produced a publication featuring a scholarly text by Lena Fritsch, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford.
