Her process features obsessive, repetitive actions that function as a gripping point, a connection to reality, and safe ground. Agassi's practice reflects a post-feminist shift, exploring femininity from a position of privilege and choice. Although her work references traditional domestic crafts like embroidery, sewing, and knitting, Agassi employs these materials in unconventional, non-functional ways to generate new meanings. Agassi's site-specific works merge personal and architectural stories, revealing glimpses of spatial biography through her lived experience. Primarily using materials, body, and space, she creates intimate dialogues within public environments and their stories. Holding MFAs from Chelsea College and BFAs from Central St. Martins, London, Agassi's work has been exhibited internationally at venues like Tate Modern, The Israel Museum, the Triennale di Milano, and Zacheta in Warsaw. Notable projects include collaborations with Lady Dior and Sonia Rykiel. In Chicago, her work has been exhibited at The Graham Foundation, Chicago Cultural Center, and The Arts Club of Chicago. Her work was recently acquired by The Art Institute of Chicago. Recent and upcoming projects include her collaboration with Tod's, solo exhibitions at Foksal Gallery, Warsaw (Fall 2023), The International Museum of Surgical Science (Fall 2024), Kim Contemporary Art Centre in Riga, and The Richard H. Driehaus Museum, among others. Nelly is a co-founder of the nonprofit organization Fieldwork Collaborative Projects and a 2019 Graham Foundation Fellow. https://www.theweavingworkshopschool.com/news/spoke monthly 0.5 2026-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/ef291a11-57b0-41eb-a6c5-20ae142c64d3/July+2026+FB+Event+Covers-2+%281%29.png News - SPOKE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/1783015481939-LPFNUDOI8VGUSCZF27U6/AshleyBradley_03.jpg News - SPOKE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/1783015511791-LPJ626V22JRXB147HMV3/IMG_0368.jpeg News - SPOKE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/1783015529327-V2MSS3GXVYFI8KQ0TZFL/wingedcurrent-cord.jpg News - SPOKE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/1783015605225-N5K5ECT537EHS3OKHJQD/Screenshot+2026-07-02+at+1.06.24%E2%80%AFPM.png News - SPOKE https://www.theweavingworkshopschool.com/home daily 1.0 2026-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/1755715408399-RD5PQEO1VS9Q798P142P/IMG_7329.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/6faad482-c6dd-4345-a1f8-309ad2d13354/July+2026+Events+Carousel-4.png https://www.theweavingworkshopschool.com/location daily 0.75 2026-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/a62edc0a-280d-4581-addd-d344f50ba6ed/TheWeavingWorkshop-Students.JPG https://www.theweavingworkshopschool.com/faq daily 0.75 2026-06-09 https://www.theweavingworkshopschool.com/about daily 0.75 2026-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/1755715408399-RD5PQEO1VS9Q798P142P/IMG_7329.JPG About Interior of The Weaving Workshop school, wall display of colorful materials, and large windows at the back letting in natural light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a6172c5afaa10dfd0aa359/257f395a-d5e1-4376-991d-d2b68268425d/TheWeavingWorkshop-Students.JPG About Seven people standing in front of a colorful art installation made of intertwined wire and strings.
