dirty laundry: curated by Pam marlene taylor

"In Washing by Erin Tucker, literal dirty laundry water is preserved in jars. Tucker is reflecting on the process of work, both actual housework and the internal “work” on self, and asking “What is the outcome of my labor? What are the effects on me, and on those around me? Is the end result more important that the effort that brings one there?” Focusing on and highlighting the process of physical and emotional housekeeping, the actual dirty laundry in the middle of becoming clean, rather than the end result pressed and hung, the viewer is encouraged to do the hard work without placing importance on the outcome. The paths of making the decision to report/file a complaint/air out dirty laundry will diverge in different directions based on individual priorities and needs. In Washing, we consider the importance of walking the path, regardless of the destination."

bodies bigger than eyes: Curated by douglas degges

Curatorial Statement:

“Bodies Bigger Than Eyes brings together six artists who are working with the body—some through the use of abstraction and fragmentation of the body into its parts, and others through the use of everyday objects or props that imply utility and human presence. Each of these artists is engaged with their materials and the crafting of space in ways that do not just allude to the body, but also require its presence. We, as viewers, are presented with only enough information to feel the work making room for us—for our own bodies and and our own encounter with the work’s seemingly incomplete or partial narrative. This kind of engagement calls for an attentiveness and presence that is not necessarily quiet or narrowly focused but full, messy, and entirely felt.”
