Nov 1st - Nov 30th
‘Book of Monsters’
Rowan Buffington & Matt Greenwell
OPENING: NOV 1st 5-7pm


David and Marian Fairchild’s Book of Monsters (1914), from which Buffington and Greenwell borrow the title of this exhibition, comprises a series of protoscientific photographs of insects. The extreme close-up images serve a dual purpose: as documentary evidence suitable for scientific analysis, and as a protracted treatise on the fundamental alterity of insects. The Fairchilds explain: “…the flies which leave a colony of germs at every footstep will not much longer be tolerated, indeed, every creature that bites and sucks our food and dishes has been placed under suspicion.” The photographic analysis of these insects is an extension of a colonial mindset that seeks to contain, control, and dominate that which refuses to be assimilated.
The exhibition Book of Monsters examines these images against the backdrop of avant-garde artistic production. Buffington and Greenwell challenge conventional notions of normalcy that have been and remain central to nationalist and totalitarian logics. Collage and printmaking were instrumental to shaping the political consciousness of the early 20th century, serving as a vital form of resistance against fascistic imperatives. Fascism is once again on the rise, and we find ourselves in a directly analogous position to artists of the historic avant-garde.

Opening Reception : Saturday, Nov 1st, 5-7pm


‘Braiding a Current’
Dru Donovan
&
Joel W. Fisher
On view : Nov 1st - Nov 30th

What happens when two artists, collaborators, partners, and parents to young children, turn their attention toward the same moment, the same scene, the same bodies, and make pictures? Braiding a Current emerges not as stasis nor a timeline, but as a current; one that doubles back on itself, layers perspectives, and pulls forward small moments that feel irretrievable even as they are made.
