Artist Nancy Lupo is preparing a new exhibition titled "Meow Meow Real Estate" at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation in London. The show shares its name with a novel she is writing, both projects emerging from a period of personal displacement and a fixation on finding a home. The exhibition continues a trajectory of shows that serve as interconnected, physical manifestations of her literary and emotional exploration of place.
This project matters because it exemplifies a deeply integrated artistic practice where life, writing, and visual art are inextricably linked. Lupo's work transforms a common, anxious experience—the search for an apartment—into a profound investigation of belonging, fantasy, and the construction of self. Her method of allowing exhibitions to feed into the novel and vice versa challenges traditional boundaries between artistic mediums and presentation formats.
