One Wicked Mime brings together recent work by Dennis Quillin and Christian Turner (of Art Enables DC, and Studio Route 29 NJ, respectively), whose work is connected in its formal presentation and playful sensibility.

On view at ArtYard now through May 31st.

Artwork:

1.) Butterfly, Dennis Quillin, 2025
11 x 14 inches

2.) Desk Chair?, Dennis Quillin, 2019
Colored pencil on paper
17 x 11 inches

3.) Bird’s Nest, Christian Turner, 2025
12 x 9 x 43 inches
Found objects, acrylic paint, and polymer

Image descriptions:

1.) A dense, amorphous black form stretches across a vivid red background, its soft edges and smudged arrows suggesting motion or pressure within an abstract, organic mass.

2.) A totem-like shape rises vertically in dark brown against a warm orange field, resembling a column or pedestal with a rounded top and base.

3.) A bright yellow-green assemblage of found objects forms a tall, pump-like structure topped with a pale orb, blending industrial and playful elements through layered paint and materials.

4.) A white-walled gallery displaying framed colored pencil works on paper. It also shows three white pedestals supporting different sculptures, with a purple sculpture positioned on the floor in the entryway.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
