Addison Wolff: At the Baths
September 21, 2025, through March 22, 2026
At the Baths marks the debut solo museum presentation of South Florida artist Addison Wolff (b. 1987, Winter Park, FL; lives and works in Fort Lauderdale) at NSU Art Museum. Wolff’s practice centers on his use of synthetic polymer paints on bisque-fired ceramics, with which he creates layered, hybrid works that merge sculpture and painting, inviting reflection on the human impulse for definition and the process of identity formation. For this presentation, Wolff’s abstract ceramic vessels will be presented within a site-specific installation inspired by communal bathhouse architecture. The exhibition draws from classical references such as the ancient Greek fresco, The Tomb of the Diver, and invites consideration of the contemporary manifestation of bathhouses. As Wolff challenges the traditional boundaries of material and meaning, the exhibition highlights the boundless potential of abstraction as a form of personal and collective expression.
At the Baths is organized by Ariella Wolens, Bryant-Taylor Curator.
