Sadaf H Nava

Boudoir of Doubt, Animalic · checklist

Opened Friday 23 July 2023 at 17Essex, 17 Essex Street, New York.

This checklist page existed on the live domain as /checklist-sadaf-h-nava/. The hang treated scent, doubt, and animalic notes as materials, not as perfume-counter jokes. Titles and editions were kept on paper in the desk drawer during the run; what follows is the public record we can still stand behind.

Works occupied the street-level boudoir: wall pieces, objects that asked to be circled, and a window that had to stay readable from Essex Street after dusk. Hours remained Thursday to Sunday, 12-6pm, with extra evenings by appointment.

June 2023 install notes (kept here so the checklist is not only a name) called for clear floor, no leftover survey plinths, and a crate plan if any piece later traveled. That is the same discipline used when the gallery later packed for London.
