COOPER COLE is pleased to present Chrysanne, a solo exhibition by Chrysanne Stathacos. This exhibition is guest curated by Gia Liapi and marks the artists second solo exhibition with the gallery.
The following text written by Gia Liapi accompanies the exhibition:

Perhaps she was born in the wrong era, or perhaps she arrived right on time:
Lala, my grandmother, responded to his behavior by finding a four-leaf clover, an omen of Delphic oracle proportions; I was a lucky girl baby, perfect, no matter what my sex.
