Early life and Education

edit

Nicole Cherubini was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1970. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1993 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics, and continued her education at New York University Institute of Fine Arts, earning her Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts in 1998. Cherubini attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2002.[2]

Work

edit

Working largely in ceramic sculptures and mixed media installations, Cherubini's work comments on ceramics as a language that has been associated with crafts narratives and its cultural relation to gender and functionality.[3]

In 2023, the Tufts University Art Galleries, Somerville and Boston, featured Nicole Cherubini's large-scale installation as part of re:imagining collections, a four-person exhibition that invited artists to interact with the university's art collection and reinterpret it in under a new light. Other artists in the show were Ali Cherri, NIC Kay, and SANGREE.[4]

Cherubini's work is included in Every Sound Is a Shape of Time: Selections from PAMM's Collection, organized by the Pérez Art Museum Miami in 2024. The exhibition encompasses nearly thirty years of collecting practices, and retells the museum's history to current audiences.[5][6] For instance, Nicole Cherubini held a solo show at PAMM in 2014, in which she grounded and framed her ceramics work on a feminist practice.[7]

She has presented solo exhibitions at Samsøñ (Boston, MA), Pérez Art Museum Miami (Miami, FL), the Santa Monica Museum of Art (Los Angeles, CA), the Institute of Contemporary Art (Philadelphia, PA), Tracy Williams (NY), the Nassau County Museum of Art (Roslyn Harbor, NY), the Jersey City Museum (Jersey City, NJ), and La Panadería (Mexico City, MX).[8]

Her works have been included in group exhibitions at institutions including MoMA PS1 (Long Island City, NY), the Cranbrook Art Museum (Bloomfield Hills, MI), The Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery (Saratoga, NY), the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA), the Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston, MA), the Boston University Art Gallery (Boston, MA), the Boston Center for the Arts (Boston, MA), Permanenten: The West Norway Museum of Decorative Art (Bergen, NO), the Rhode Island School of Design Museum (Providence, RI), and the Sculpture Center (Long Island City, NY).

Her work has received press from Art in America,[9] Artforum,[8] ARTnews,[10] BOMB Magazine,[1] The New York Times,[3] The New Yorker;[11] also featured on The Pot Book by Edmund De Waal, and Breaking The Mold new approaches to ceramics by black god publishing.
