The Unknown Thing that Frees You by Lela Pierce

Opening Reception Friday, September 20, 2024, 6-9 PM.

The exhibition runs from September 26 – October 27, 2024.

In The Unknown Thing that Frees You Lela Pierce seeks to expand the often condensed, and unsettling spaces, states and sites of "in betweenness." Pierce expands the boundaries of what seeks to contain us. Located sonically in the color black, sinking deep in the earth and reaching far out into outer space, this work, encompassing various 2D and 3D forms, teeters between spaces of perceived comfort and discomfort, grief, longing, darkness and light—stretching and reaching towards cyclical spaces of joy, and becoming.

Fast & Loose by Ruthann Godollei

Opening Reception Friday, September 20, 2024, 6-9 PM.

The exhibition runs from September 26 – October 27, 2024.

Fast & Loose by Ruthann Godollei is inspired by a con game of the same name, going back to medieval times. A scammer sets up loops of string to grab or let go of a stick, the public lays down bets, but the game is rigged, the scammer knows how to pull strings to make things always go his way.

“My idea is that sometimes humor is an effective tool to get a message across and that for some artists, their job is to promote the beautiful or the good, and for me, my job is to critique and expose,” she said. “And that’s my position from the art world, and I’m trying to use it to my ability to bring about social change that I think is needed.”

Fragments of Intimacy by Krista Anderson-Larson

Opening Reception Friday, September 20, 2024, 6-9 PM.

The exhibition runs from September 26 – October 27, 2024.

Fragments of Intimacy explores the development of queer identity as experienced within the bathroom through multiple mediums. Krista Anderson-Larson extracts common bathroom objects and fixtures, arranging and manipulating them to create interactions that reference the body or multiple bodies. Anderson-Larson distorts reality for the viewer as they view both themselves and their surroundings through hundreds of tiny mirrors on bathroom textiles such as towels or rugs. Referencing the visual language of disco balls and their trademark role in gay bars, these sculptures explore perceptions of self as experienced in the privacy of the bathroom. Viewing a distorted reflection of oneself in the mirrors references the experience of gender dysphoria, or not recognizing the reflection of oneself or one's body.
