Upcoming Exhibitions
Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson
September 6 – October 12, 2024
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 14th from 6–8pm
Hildur Jónsson makes woven paintings with dyed silk thread, each based on the landscape of her native Iceland, where she travels twice yearly for extended periods of time. Her paintings, which span small, framed works to mural-size wall hangings, stem from her observation and recording of natural phenomena in all seasons. Jónsson takes photographs and makes preliminary studies of the Icelandic landscape, one of the most unique natural environments, with geysers, waterfalls, hot springs and active volcanoes. She extracts and abstracts those primal shapes to structure her woven compositions.

Julie Schenkelberg

Opening Reception: Tuesday, July 2nd from 6–8pm
ABATTOIR @ The Quarter

Julie Schenkelberg grew up in the post-industrial landscape of Cleveland, Ohio. Her mixed-media installations start with furniture, dishware, textiles, and marble, combined with concrete, resin, and construction materials, to transform notions of domesticity, and engage with the American Rust Belt's legacy of abandonment and decay. Using the home as a playground for formal and conceptual subversions, the work aggressively disrupts cohesion within the physical sphere. Familiar furnishings rekindle memories or premonitions of collapse, suggesting both the utter destruction of war, calamities, or urban decay, but also the uncanny juxtapositions of fragile substances such as cloth and china, with industrial materials such as rusty metal, heavy concrete, and tool-made marks such as drilled holes and chain-sawed indentations.
