With Chronicle of Actions, Mayoraz explores the relationship between events and the construction of reality. In this show, her work is the result of an attempt to make sense of the fractured perspective omnipresent in our society and personal lives, echoing Dr. Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons: “In order to Re-pair, one must locate what is at fault, in order to heal, one must find the wound. Re-pair is all in love.”

This exhibition highlights the complex relationship between humans and the world around us. The artworks challenge the notion, at the premises of human evolution: that what is natural, to be valuable, must be tamed and controlled. Often depicted as the result of a battle won over chaos, Human success is showing its limitation. More and more, the ripples from decisions made centuries earlier are affecting our today and tomorrow. Mayoraz reflects on her interactions with society and nature through various mediums and artworks. Her encompassing examination considers the limitation of human decision-making in the face of the inherent complexity of the natural system. She incorporates live plants in her sculpture to signify how the natural world isn't a passive backdrop to human activity but a dynamic system that is impossible to fully anticipate and control.

Mayoraz's study of personal experiences and more significant ecological struggles invites viewers to reflect on their connection and interplay with the world around them. Ultimately, the show encourages us to consider more humble ways to look at the world and interact with its complexity rather than try to regulate it.

The Triennial Room feat. Alex Blau, Claudia Padrón Gómez, Vesna Pavlović

Triennial Room is a project space created by Alex Blau, Claudia Padrón Gómez, and Vesna Pavlović, on view at Zeitgeist gallery from February 4 – March 29. The room is the intersection of three distinct artistic practices coalescing around the questions of memory. The experimental architecture space aligns with the Triennial mission to be “a new site of encounters, with yet undefined edges, borders, territories… new cartographies of the mind as well as geographies of the land.” The works included in the room are created in Cuba, Serbia, and Nashville. 

The Red Arrow Gallery is honored to present, Beyond the Dreampond, a solo exhibition with realist painter, Buket Savci. Opening March 4th, 2023, the exhibition continues through Saturday March 25th, 2023.

Buket Savci is an Artist and Turkish immigrant, currently living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her paintings bubble over with bold, bright colors and images of groups of people assembled together, almost in a pile on one another and surrounded by various inflatable toys you would typically find poolside. Buket’s works address longing and the need for comfort and emotional support. She says the dreampond is the celebration of being together and unconditional love. Being able to hope and dream about a better future.

The Cracks are How the Light Gets In

Louisa Glenn’s work is rooted in color theory. For her 2023 solo show Glenn brings personal revelations and lessons forth through layering abstract bursts of color - building undulating fields of vibrant epiphany.

My painting practice has largely been informed by traditional quilt patterns. They've provided me with a highly structured framework that gives me this strange and beautiful freedom to traverse my own inner landscape, crack it apart into digestible pieces, and put it back together again. I really enjoy the soothing focus that painting precise lines and shapes brings, particularly if I'm unpacking something wild and/or weighty. The greatest joy I get out of painting, however, is delving into color. It's what my work is all about right now, using a broad array of colors to explore how I feel about the state of the world, waking up next to the one I love, standing on the shore before an infinite sea, you name it. I love laying down colors that vibe gently off each other and colors that scream at their neighbors in the same piece; it's relaxing and jarring and thrilling all at once. And that's what I hope you'll discover here too - not only wonder at why olive greens and orchid purples pair so nicely together, but also the sense that you know what those colors feel like in your own inner landscape.

Tinney Contemporary is proud to present A Human Synthesis, a solo exhibition of conceptual works by Wesley Clark, guest curated by Michael J Ewing.

A Human Synthesis aims to evoke an abstract personal dialogue that exists within the individual; giving way to a singular, human perspective. In my curatorial approach, I couple psychological theories, literary devices, and visual language to shape the exhibition’s cognitive framework through a southern hermeneutical lens.

“These explorations in mark-making are an effort to recouple the hand-mind-body connection seeking a truer interior/inward expression. These works are journals, recording each step, each mark made - graphite or erasure. They are artifacts of the moment (or moments). Records that string together a loose narrative woven, when reading the marks made. Conversations, arguments, responses and revelations stream through with contributing percussive-based, Go-Go [upbeat D.C. based music], influencing the energies behind each mark.”
