Anytime a Nashville-based artist has a solo show at the Frist, you know it’s going to be something special. The downtown art institution doesn’t host locals often, and standards are high — think Vesna Pavlovic and Harmony Korine. These artists are in good company with Vadis Turner, whose Tempest divided the Frist’s space into three galleries filled with large-scale works that the artist describes as paintings, but which use ribbons in place of brushstrokes, quilts instead of canvases, and found objects, ephemera and even her own breast milk in place of more traditional media.
