JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2020
Hanging River by Takahiro Yamamoto & Andy Paiko
Hanging River was an exhibition of new work in collaboration of Takahiro Yamamoto and Andy Paiko. As multiple transparent objects shaped as utilitarian objects are precariously hung from the ceiling, a large glass sculpture resembling a string-instrument is placed in the corner, unplayed but displayed. Through the physical and visual presentation of the installation, this project attempts to find embrace in cognitive dissonance. How can we locate our sense of belief in the wedge of dystopia and utopia?

Reveal/Conceal: the Transformative Masks of Tony Fuemmeler
Masks offer a unique sort of transformation. They are full of paradox: masks reveal and magnify even as they conceal. Despite their obvious and observable presence as objects, masks in performance can so engage the viewer that we forget they are there. They can seem to defy their static form and move in front of the audience. They hold a kind of magic. The masks in this exhibit were designed to be worn and performed. Rather than serve as a disguise, they are intended as the true face of the character presented. Many are three-quarter masks, completed by the face of the actor; others are designed to cover the whole face, or sit above it. All of them significantly inform the way an actor moves.
A Universal Feeling: A collaborative mask installation by Tony Fuemmeler
In this installation, mask maker Tony Fuemmeler collaborated with sixty artists around the world to make an installation which examines our personal and collective experiences of emotion.

JULY-AUGUST 2019
Biological Dissonance by Tammy Jo Wilson and Amanda Triplett
Biological Dissonance was an exhibition about the irrepressible metamorphosis of the human body and beauty within the organic form. Artists Tammy Jo Wilson and Amanda Triplett blended their creative expressions in this compelling and tactile exhibit about the biological body, through works of encaustics, paintings, prints, fiber and textile installations. Pairing together their individual approaches to process and medium, they built a visual dialogue expressing the visceral nature of the vessels to which all humans are confined and examining the relationship between flesh and bone; and society, cultural experience and self awareness.
