This small show deals with sick, tired, digitally manipulated collages that start from imagery and praxis around: Film-maker Jim Hubbard’s writing on HIV/AIDS media arts, viral metaphors in technology, Derrida’s text titled ‘Archive Fever’ exploring death drives and emails, and programming from the Guggenheim titled ‘Fever in the Archive: AIDS Activist Videotapes’ from the early 2000’s. The work collages connections to ubiquitous contemporary crisis fatigue and biopowers.

New work by Tannon Reckling.

Evaporations for Tomorrow’s Rain

Evaporations for Tomorrow’s Rain is a collection of recent works by painting and drawing BFA students Zane Bjorge, Elijah Denker, Grace Peccia Stayner, and Billy von Raven. Each is related through considerations of shifting perspectives, temporality, speculation, and porosity of knowledge. These works, each in their own way, approach cyclicality, appreciating each departure as a promise for return.

care & meaning

Works by Katy Keuter and Melanie Hamilton.

Katy: Finding meaning from a lifespan of expression through art. Caring to make my art truthful memories.

Melanie: A brief survey of care and meaning through examinations of public and private spaces, materials, and symbols.

figure ground

figure ground is a collection of relating works that engage with the visual concept of how space is perceived, interpreted and expressed. Langley and Petkau’s contributions of two and three-dimensional work correspond to one-another through formal qualities and visual themes by way of dramatically different practices that embody maximalist and minimalist approaches to making. The convergence of these contrasting elements, that could appear in opposition, coalesce in the abyss of the visual landscape. The conceptual application of the figure ground relationship physically takes form in the gallery, making use of the literal horizontal “ground” and vertical “figure” through installation methods. figure ground is a play on the gestalt theory of its namesake, segmenting and distilling our visual world into object and surrounding space.

New work by Erin Langley and Hannah Petkau

(Over)Thinking of Your Pleasures

New work by Lily Brennan.

Thoughts on interpersonal pleasures and how they create evolutions on identities. I’ve discovered my own transitioning through the scope of vivid dreams, all the while contemplating the relationships I held within a truer reality.
