Fragments are the traces left behind, waiting to be reimagined and remembered. This group exhibition brings together the work of Adrian Beyer, sofi cisneros, Dora Duan, Victor Li, Pricila Modesto, Rhiannon Thomas, and Xiaoli Zhou. Identities and memories are ingrained in this body of work, as the artists reconstruct their own fragmented realities. They play with medium, ideas, and sense of self, and in doing so reflect on the faultiness of their own memories and constructions. These works all investigate the sensation of the artist breaking their world apart.  Through different subjects, media, and locations, these seven artists all magnify…

March 3 – March 6Curator: Martina LentinoArtists: Derek Koffi-Ziter and Isabella Wang How do others’ perceptions influence the way we see ourselves? Through which channels do seemingly disparate thoughts connect, contributing to an inevitably multidimensional state of being? How does the practice of identity formation cope with constant self-reflection and self-criticism? In Independent Research: Perceived Selves artists Isabella Wang and Derek Koffi-Ziter think through these questions in multimedia works that act as explorations of their psyches and lived experiences. Independent Research functions as a snapshot of their respective practices, highlighting self-analysis, introspection, and pluralistic identity as shared conceptual underpinnings.  Isabella…

February 24 – February 27Curator: Chloë CourtneyArtists: Oona Bebout and Yinan (Rebecca) Chen The perceived boundary between our bodies and the outside world is fundamental to our understanding of selfhood. Vision mediates that experience of the body as a self-contained entity: our gaze emanatesoutward, fixing our bodies at the center of perceived reality. Similar to the way the Cartesian grid schematizes boundless space from a single origin point, one-point perspective creates a carefully orderedreality in which to see is to know, and to know completely. Touch, however, resists this visual hierarchy. Instead of emanating from one point on the human…

February 17 – February 20Curator: Leigh PetersonArtists: Les-lie López and Camila Rodriguez Jimenez Les-lie López and Camila Rodriguez Jimenez operate from a paradoxical position, as they find themselves both marginalized and thrust into the spotlight. Historically, the voices of the Mexican and Colombian communities to which they belong did not have priority in the United States. But due to shifting cultural values in recent years, interest in the experiences and perspectives of these groups is growing. As artists, Les-lie and Camila feel pressure to fulfill the role of spokesperson for their cultures. However, they do not desire to be pigeonholed…

Inside / OutsideFebruary 10 – February 13Curator: Janelle MiniterArtists: Naava Guaraca, Eleisha McCorkle, and Tonisha McCorkle Through their artistic practices Naava Guaraca, Eleisha McCorkle, and Tonisha McCorkle investigate their lived experiences through interior and exterior spaces. Hyperaware that most spaces are not inherently designed for Black and Brown women, each artist produces works that reclaim space and assert their agency.  Naava Guaraca locates herself in the world by seeking the familiar. Although a native New Yorker, Guaraca is deeply connected to her family’s hometown in Ecuador, where she returns often. As an inhabitant of public and private spaces in North…

March 10 – March 13Curator: Madeleine MorrisArtists: Giovanna Pedrinola and Shane Weiss Shane Weiss and Giovanna Pedrinola explore themes of the body as it exists in and interacts with surrounding and internal space. In Embodied Space, Weiss and Pedrinola consider the formal elements of medium, material and activation of the space around their works.  Rigid architectural geometry meets the organic suppleness of fabric in Pedrinola’s drawings and installations. Born in Brazil, Pedrinola utilizes her personal and artisticheritage in her works, which include drawing, sculpture, textile, and performance to engage with visual, auditory, and haptic sensation. In her drawing Un Ricordo…
