EXHIBITION: PIVOT: TERENCE NICHOLSON
Sat. May 7– Sat. July 2, 2022
Terence Nicholson’s works are the product of, but not necessarily defined by, the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although he had no desire for the body of work to focus on the pandemic specifically, its impact was unavoidable.
Nicholson was challenged to continue the making of objects during a time of limited space due to social distancing mandates and calls to stay indoors during the early days of the pandemic. As a result, he created a series of works on plexiglass, photo transfer, and video as well as smaller assemblages.
EXHIBITION: RASHAD ALI MUHAMMAD
Invitational Gallery
Sat. May 7– Sat. July 2, 2022
Rashad Muhammad builds a sense of wonder and mystique in his work through various mediums, inspired by his lived experiences, vivid imagination, and refined aesthetic. His work explores themes of spirituality, cultural identity, and finding harmony in life.
