On view until May 24th, it’s the final weekend to see A Shell, A Peel, A Pause by Miguel Caba, An Hà, and Vivian Tran!

The minimal, poetic, and rhythmic title gestures toward sites of protection, transfiguration, and stillness, among other possibilities. Drawing from familiar, everyday objects, imagery, and iconography, the artists breathe life into the mundane.

Caba’s wallpapers depict their grandmother’s distant home, the paintings bridge distance yet exist at a moment paused as their facade slips away. Tran’s wall collage wraps around the interior and stitches disparate narratives together through their horizon lines. Hà reanimates byproducts that are in the periphery of the everyday, echoing past narratives.

The works offer familiar space for daydreaming, inviting viewers to reconsider what might exist beyond the horizon.

Upcoming show on June 1st! Stephen Marotto, Freya Downey, and Aaron Michael Smith present three pieces for strings and electronic sounds by James Tenney, Lea Bertucci, and Aaron Michael Smith.

These composers explore the paradoxical, the textural, and music’s uncanny ability to plumb the depths of inarticulability. All three pieces explore extended definitions of what one might recognize as harmony as well as new explorations of rhythm and how one could perceive beats and repetition. Utilizing the full range of the viola and the cello, the performers, with near-childlike curiosity, find ways to integrate their sounds and to bring noise and the repulsive into the realm of the vulnerable and the pleasurable.

breathe tighten choke inhale exhale sweat blur freeze rush stop… Brahmand is an 8-hour performance by Maithili Rajput (@artbymaithili).

During the performance, a body remains within a sealed fragile structure that shifts and degrades over time. Actions within the interior do not produce stable or immediately legible outcomes; the effort toward emergence is delayed, partial, or met with resistance. The work inhabits a condition in which causality is obscured and the boundary between protection and confinement is indistinguishable.

Audience members are invited to engage with and gradually alter the structure throughout the performance using provided tools. While visitors may enter at any time, they are encouraged to witness the final stages of the work as the structure slowly breaks apart and the body emerges from within.

Through these labor-intensive systems, Rajput regulates movement and exposure to investigate the psychological architecture of endurance.
