Soho House Nashville
Comprising works by 41 artists, Soho House Nashville’s art collection intersects the vast industrial space, telling the complex story of this creative city
The Soho House Nashville art collection comprises of 41 artists born, based or trained in Tennessee, with the vast majority local to the city. Ranging from established names such as Vesna Pavlović, Willie Stewart and Vadis Turner to talent being championed early, like Eden Anyabwile, the collection is a snapshot of the current contemporary art scene in Nashville.
In the lobby and adjoining public space, local artist and curator David Onri Anderson was invited to guest-curate, bolstering the scope of the overall collection by exhibiting artists including Woke3 (Jamal Jenkins), as well as Nuveen Barwari, Karen Seapker and Marlos E’van.
Several artists were invited to create site-specific commissions for the Nashville collection, including Yanira Vissepó’s ‘My Heavenly Bodies’, a set of six hanging linen panels with unique dyed shapes, installed in the main club and creating an ethereal, organic partition to the space. Noah Saterstrom’s three new paintings are continued explorations of his focus on memory, family and loss. Beizar Aradini’s ‘1994’, an embroidery on-tulle in the club entrance, serves as one of several emissaries for the representation of the Kurdish community, with Nashville being home to the single largest group of ethnic Kurds in the US.
The House bedrooms feature works by David Onri Anderson, Blythe Colvin, Veronica Leto or Paul Collins. The collection was curated by Soho House’s Global Director of Art, Kate Bryan, in 2020.
