Notations on Ritual

Curated by Sso-Rha Kang

Opening Reception: Friday, March 14 from 5-8pm  

Curator and Artist Walkthrough: Saturday, March 15 at noon

This exhibition broadly explores the theme of ritual—from objects that we hold with reverence, to superstitions that dictate behavior, and systems that maintain or subvert expectations. 

Oscillating between the sacred and banal, rituals can take the form of gestures, words, and objects that weave between personal, professional, or cultural spaces. They can be spiritual, meaningless, self-imposed, socially regulated, strictly adhered to, or broken. Rituals are a form of world building with the ability to create atmospheres and conjure moods, which can produce tremendous affect ranging from paranoia, fear, comfort, safety, and joy.

Artists: Erika NJ Allen, Rachael Banks, Brett Davis, Ceirra Evans, Calista Lyon, Hannah Parrett, Dianna Settles, Aubrey Theobald 

This exhibition is free and open to the public.  Gallery hours: Thursday – Saturday, Noon – 5 p.m.
