Barking Panting Sighs Heavenly
May 27 – July 1, 2022
Barking Panting Sighs Heavenly, an exhibition of new sculptural works by Valentin Carron, explores the romanticized loneliness often associated with the lives of artists. A group of sculptures in which humanoid figures are accompanied by dogs reflects his ongoing interest in motifs whose appeal is universal but whose roots are local or personal. As some of their titles indicate, these figures are distinguishable as either adults or children, but show no other legible markers of identity.

Recent Paintings
May 27 – July 1, 2022
Chris Martin: Recent Paintings features paintings made in the Catskill Mountains, New York, where the artist has maintained a lifelong connection. While some pictures in this exhibition include appropriated images of recognizable Martin forms like the planet Saturn, cannabis leaves, and mushrooms, even the works that remain entirely non-objective are full of palpable moods and a sense of place. The works in Recent Paintings serve as a reminder that the natural world is never far away from Martin’s eye, process, or ethos.

GET HOME SAFE
May 27 – July 1, 2022
GET HOME SAFE, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley's immersive, interactive installation, is part of an ongoing archival project where the artist endeavors to remedy the state of erasure in which Black Trans lives have been removed from records of the past, accounts of the present, and visions of the future. In GET HOME SAFE, technology is combined with references to very real human qualities, and therefore, becomes a way to imagine Black Trans lives in environments that prominently center their bodies—those living, those that have passed, those that have been forgotten, and those that have yet to be born.
