Postbiological PonderingsTristyn BustamanteOctober 10 – 27 | Free Entry
The aim of this ongoing body of work is to impart an overall experience of wonderment toward a place in time, where technologies have integrated with living organisms and evolved. It is to produce an impression of a future, where evidence of humanity is sparse yet the nature of the inhabitants, their purpose, and the systems in which they exist offer hope for mankind. |

Across an Impossible DistancePenny Cagney & Rachael ZurJanuary 23 – February 9 | Free Entry
Is there a limit to how far love can reach? Be it in the lingering presence of the deceased felt in domestic spaces as depicted in Rachael Zur’s work, or in a final moment of connection in the last hours of a loved one’s life as shown in Penny Cagney’s work—loved ones find a way to reach us near the end of life or after they have passed. Zur’s paintings depict the residue of lives lived that are held in domestic spaces. Penny Cagney examines the phenomenon of terminal lucidity, a return of cognitively impaired persons to their former selves shortly before they die. Together, these painters create tangible depictions of moments that defy logic or form and reveal that death is not the end of love. |
