the refresh (group exhibition)

Opening Reception & Artist Talk: October 12, 2024 @ 5pm - 7pm

The Refresh is a dynamic Fall group show highlighting four  artists, Reuben Cheatem, Nouman Gaafar, Barbara Mason and Cher Musico.  The transformative power of artistic process and creativity are at the  forefront of this invigorating new exhibition offering a fresh  perspective on the notions of making and meaning in art. This inaugural  show underscores the importance of artistic process, where innovation,  material usage and technique converge to highlight the visually  compelling and the thought provoking. Each artist, distinct in their  methodology, approaches their medium from the traditional to the  unconventional, revealing the evolving dialogue between artist and  process. Join us as we explore the vital role artists play in  shaping meaning and discover how these four artists are redefining the  art landscape with their refreshing perspectives.

Artist Talk: September 28, 2024 @ 12pm - 1pm | Rodney LoveJones & Marryam Moma in conversation... 

Wunderland Noir is Marryam Moma's reimagining of the modern Black woman's experience.  The title symbolizes her journey of self-discovery and her new identity  as a Mother. Discovering that her son's eyes reflect her emotions and  love, she looks at herself through the lens of whimsical fantasy. Moma  uses fashion photography, intricately reconstructed repurposed archival  paper, and mixed media to create stunning works of art.

Moma's  work is rooted in realism, leaving room for Black identity within the  realm of fantasy and classic novelism turned upside down. Wunderland Noir offers  a whimsical floral futurist space where Black families can envision a  future full of hope and creativity. This builds upon Moma's previous The  ICONoclasts exhibition amplifying Black cultural heroes.
