Events for September 19, 2024

Ties that Bind examines the drama, trauma and joy that familial relationships bring to our lives. Although the eight exhibiting artists’ approaches and media vary widely, all are seeking to resolve their family ties on their own terms. Exhibiting artists include Heidi Dauphin, Amanda Mollindo, Karen Nazario Moranchel, Jisun Myung, Lindsey Rothrock, Sallie Scheufler, Benjamin Selby and Philip Gabriel Steverson.

Saskia Jordá works in a variety of media to create installations and experiences that examine themes of geography, migration, and cultural identity. This exhibition features a grouping of suspended bird and kite-like objects, installed high in the airy gallery space yet anchored to the building. In Tethered, Jordá simultaneously juxtaposes feelings of flight and constraint, lightness and weight, hope and longing – while exploring the visible and invisible connections to place and to familial bonds.
