NO STRINGS ATTACHED Delusions of Grandeur: Wesley Clark, Shaunté Gates, Jamea Richmond-Edwards, Amber Robles-Gordon, Stan Squirewell “No Strings Attached” is a micro-examination of systematic control. Mechanisms such as: tethering, bindings, trusses, and all constructs that joins or is fixed in their inaction to hold in place. To remove bondages one must cut, pry, scrape, hack and in severe cases chew off portions of themselves. Is freedom worth the cost of admission?  |

LOVE, LOSS & LIPSTICK: Caryl Burtner & Taliaferro Logan Life is best recorded in simple things. Memories gathered over time, that inspire warm reminiscences of moments passed, people loved, people lost, the memories that sustain over time. Art and ephemera. Caryl Burtner and Taliaferro Logan celebrate the magical and the mundane in each of these bodies of work. Using materials drawn from everyday life, Burtner and Logan make intimate art that recalls cherished memories and refers to popular culture and art history.  |

THIRST an installation by J.J. McCracken curated by Claire Huschle "Thirst is a response to McCracken's two-person performance Thirst, and the Martyr. Both works draw attention to access to resources, asking viewers to consider scarcity and abundance, both locally and globally. Where the performance allowed for a passive reception, however, Thirst places performative responsibility on the audience. Viewers are required to keep their attention fixed upon their senses, movement, and personal space. In this light, the installation invokes experiences both familiar and foreign." – Claire Huschle, Curator  |
