 MELISSA VANDENBERG "I LIKE THE WAY YOU PREY" |
MELISSA VANDENBERG: I LIKE THE WAY YOU PREY AUGUST 25 - OCTOBER 14, 2023
I like the way you prey. I like your fury. I like your precious things. Elwyn Brooks White says of Thoreau’s self-imposed exile into the forest…"Henry went forth to battle when he took to the woods, and Walden is the report of a man torn by two powerful and opposing drives - the desire to enjoy the world and the urge to set the world straight." I like the way you prey is born of both fury and confusion in what is worshiped and elevated to commemoration... |

CLAUDIA CHASELING: SILENT SHADOWS OCTOBER 27 - DECEMBER 29 OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, OCT. 27 (6-8PM)
My current work was initiated in 2005 after seeing a documentary by Frieder Wagner addressing the use of depleted uranium weapons. I then looked into the related research of Prof. Dr Siegwart Horst Günther. A number of my works, from the Spatial Paintings to the graphic novels, deal with the factual realities and consequences of how in every conflict zone in which NATO or the US are involved, weapons are used that contain and distribute long-term radioactivity in the form of uranium and plutonium dust... |
 DEREK CRACCO "IN A FLASH" |
DEREK CRACCO: IN A FLASH JANUARY 12 - MARCH 1, 2024 OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, JAN. 12 (6-8PM)
Everything from the quantum aspects of the photon, to more real world instances of aesthetic arrest caused by blinding light are studied. Influences range from astronomy to particle physics, shifting and oscillating between the macro and the micro, between the illusions of light in the works and the visual disruptions the images produce when viewed at close range. Some of the works use light’s ability to conceal to confront how our truths can obscure and how our beliefs can blind... |

ANGELO GRANATA (1922 - 2009) JANUARY 12 - MARCH 1, 2024 OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, JAN. 12 (6-8PM)

LUCA BUVOLI: DAY 12 - SPACEWALK MAY 19 - AUGUST 12, 2023
The silhouette of the astronaut is portrayed as an evanescent shape – not yet appeared or already disappearing. The traces of the heroic performance, painted with liquid (watercolor, gouache), solid (glitter, pencil, and resin), and gaseous materials (spray paint), are stitched with wires and sheets of thin metal that evoke the suit or ”armor” protecting the body from a threatening extraplanetary environment... |

CATHERINE TAFUR: FLIGHT MARCH 10 - MAY 5
The cultural shock of childhood immigration can leave a deep psychic mark, and lead to a lifelong search for identity. My family was able to leave the violence plaguing Peru in the 80s and transplant me into the safety and promise of the US, one the greatest oppressors in the world. I need to know where I come from. I look back and see the Peru of my childhood, but when I look deeper and further back there’s pre-colonial indigenous Peru... |

JAKOB DWIGHT: VARIOUS ANALYSANDS JANUARY 20 - MARCH 3, 2023
Described by intermedia art pioneer Claudia Hart as a classical romantic, Dwight's work often examines properties of the natural world like compression, scale, complexity in noise/turbulence (ie: fractalism), and the birth and evolution of form, often presenting deceptively simple and timeless seed or ovule forms... |

I'm in search of my own identity, of my "psychic equilibrium" . To do so, it is important to take into account my memory (my "uncertain memories") - the various recent and past family problems who shaped the child that I was, the adult that I have become, and who still shape the man I would like to become...
