SUMMARY:Two Volcanoes
DESCRIPTION:The Union for Contemporary Art will display London-based artist Alicia Reyes McNamara’s “Two volcanoes grow together\, two rivers lay side by side\,” an investigation into the queering of Mexican and Irish folklore and rituals in which beings and landscapes mutate and shapeshift\, creating a personal imaginary in forms of embodiment. The collection of dream-like paintings reimagines femme centered folklore and reclaims these stories and explores these deities as independent\, self-possessed beings who have the potential to transcend their own definition and acquire a new life or meaning. \nReyes McNamara writes: “I hope to transport the viewer into an unfixed amorphous world of shapeshifting feminine energy\, and they be both curious and uneasy.” \nThe exhibit is on display May 4 through June 22. The opening reception is May 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; at noon\, Reyes McNamara will join us in conversation on the themes of her collection. \nCo-Op + Gallery Hours\nTuesday\n1–8pm \nWednesday\n1–8pm \nThursday\n1–8pm \nFriday\n10am–5pm \nSaturday\n10am–5pm

SUMMARY:Flags Of Our Mothers
DESCRIPTION:The temporary exhibition “Raven Halfmoon: Flags of Our Mothers” is at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts from May 18 through Sept. 15\, 2024. The opening reception is May 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. \nHalfmoon’s practice spans torso-scaled and colossal-sized stoneware sculptures\, with some soaring up to nine feet and weighing over eight hundred pounds. With inspirations that orbit centuries from ancient Indigenous pottery to Moai statues to Land Art\, Halfmoon interrogates the intersection of tradition\, history\, gender\, and personal experience. \nBorn and raised in Norman\, Oklahoma\, she learned about ceramics as a teenager from a Caddo elder. Working mainly in portraiture\, Halfmoon hand builds each work using a coil method. Her surfaces are expressive and show deep finger impressions and dramatic dripping glazes—a physicality that presences her as both maker and matter. She fuses Caddo pottery traditions (a history of making mostly done by women) with populist gestures—often tagging her work (a reference to Caddo tattooing). \nHer palette is specific and matches both the clay bodies she selects and the glazes she fires with—reds (after the Oklahoma soil and the blood of murdered Indigenous women)\, blacks (referencing the natural clay native to the Red River)\, and creams. Sometimes she stacks and repeats imagery\, creating totemic forms that represent herself and her maternal ancestry while also reinforcing the multiplicities that exist inside all of us. Her works reference stories of the Caddo Nation\, specifically her feminist lineage and the power of its complexities. \nThis exhibition will include a combination of new and borrowed works that vary in size and content from over the last five years. Halfmoon will also be creating some of her largest works to date commissioned by The Aldrich and Bemis Center. The artist’s first museum catalogue will accompany the exhibition. \nRaven Halfmoon is curated by Amy Smith-Stewart\, Chief Curator at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum\, and Rachel Adams\, Chief Curator and Director of Programming at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts.

SUMMARY:Black Of Night
DESCRIPTION:The temporary exhibition “Paul Stephen Benjamin: Black of Night” is at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts from May 18 through Sept. 15\, 2024. The opening night reception is May 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. \nPaul Stephen Benjamin’s practice is an ongoing investigation of blackness through concept\, thought\, and perception. From wordplay with the actual letters that comprise “BLACK\,” to utilizing the expanse of shades of black house paint—including as Nightfall\, Soot\, Ebony Field\, and Black Beauty—to posing the question\, “If the color black had a sound\, what would it be?\,” Benjamin calls attention to the color’s deep historical and social resonance. In addition\, across his practice\, the artist’s work references integral moments in Black history as well as art history. \nIn Black of Night\, Benjamin presents new and recent video installations\, paintings\, text-based work\, and sculpture as conceptual entry points for dialogue around identity\, race\, and patriotism. By continually “documenting” the color black through his multifaceted practice\, he is also deconstructing its meaning—breaking it down to its simplest form and allowing for it to operate as a medium for interpretation and introspection. Focusing on the connotations of the color black in society\, culture and language\, Benjamin incorporates history\, text\, imagery and sound from popular culture\, in turn discussing the absence and presence of color.
