Winter Exhibitions

From the organizers: FRESH: Soft Offerings | Juried Exhibition Artists explore the concept of “radical softness” as a form of resistance in this iteration of the annual juried exhibition. Envisioned by curators Abby Cipar and Julie Polsinelli, the exhibition reflects vulnerability, compassion, open minds, and love in an act of defiance against oppressive systems. The diverse range of tactile and conceptual forms of care on view invite audiences into a shared space of emotional resonance. Paperland | Mark Jaroszewski The black-and-white mixed media drawings in Paperland are reminiscent of children’s book illustrations: Sometimes dark and frightening and at other times light-hearted and whimsical. Mark Jaroszewski’s drawings help the artist navigate mental illness by providing a channel to communicate his sometimes-unusual spectrum of thoughts and feelings. The work takes inspiration from film, television programs, video games, and street graffiti, and simultaneously gives life to his own imaginary world. Over, Under, Sideways, Down | Robert Wright Through collage, painting, and composition in two dimensions, Robert Wright creates an abstracted world of human energy and andromorphic meaning. The results are asemic calligraphy driven by figurative gesture of beauty, grace, strength, balance, and rhythm. With dance as the primary source for the work, human movement has become a reflection of unique identity to the artist. Milestones & Roadside Attractions | Group Exhibition This exhibition showcases four cross-generational ceramic artists PJ Hargraves, Drew Ippoliti, Morgan Jones, and Kayla Weinman who serve as catalysts for each other’s stories and expressions. Together, they explore the potential of the medium and their distinct points of view. Each artist looks at the aesthetic beauty and humor of ceramics, while each work represents a feat of gravity and an opportunity to laugh at the absurdity of building in mud. Mutual Aid | Eric Tuck-Macalla Sculpture in this exhibition exists along the margins of life and reflects the places we don’t want to look: Unused land, vacant lots, abandoned industrial sites. The work serves as a potent reminder about the delicacy of being on the edge of ruin, a reality that many face. While working with mundane materials, Eric Tuck-Macalla is thinking of a poem about the feeling of scarcity; a construction that is creating shelter and building community.
