Serenade Is Not Dead, Joël Andrianomearisoa’s first U.S. institutional solo exhibition, was presented at Dallas Contemporary in 2020. Curated by Laurie Ann Farrell, the show transformed the gallery into a poetic, immersive environment using black textiles, found materials, and sentimental objects. Drawing from his background in architecture and multidisciplinary practice, Andrianomearisoa explored themes of longing, seduction, and emotional fragility. The exhibition’s layered vignettes—including a conceptual boutique, evolving garments, and interactive posters—created what the artist calls “territories of emotion,” inviting viewers to navigate a landscape shaped by intimacy, desire, and the complexities of feeling.
