Companion Species (At What
Cost): The Works of Marie Watt
|
|
|
|
Explore the
varied textile works of American artist and Seneca Nation of
Indians citizen Marie Watt. The selection draws from history,
biography, Iroquois proto-feminism, and Indigenous teachings; in these
works, Watt explores the intersection of community, history, and
storytelling. Her work has been exhibited and held in permanent
collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of
American Art, Yale University Art Gallery, and the Smithsonian
Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian, among others.

Alisha Wormsley: Remnants of
An Advanced Technology
|
|
|
This exhibition foregrounds Alisha B. Wormsley's celebrated engagements with Black futurism—a genre of reimagining Black life often with a futuristic aesthetic. The imagery in this exhibition draws, in part, from her established body of work, "Children of NAN", which Wormsley describes as an archive of objects, photos, video footage, films, sounds, philosophies, myths, rituals, and performances that she's been compiling for over a decade to document the ways that Black women care for themselves, each other, and the earth.

Doug Herren:
Color-Forms/Ceramic Structures
|
|
|
|
Spark your
sense of wonder and curiosity through the whimsically vibrant work by
Doug Herren. Herren's current ceramic work explores invoking
vessel references in large-scale forms reminiscent of abandoned
industrial tools, gaudily colored. He uses clay in the fashioning of
both stands and tables, and the pottery forms cobbled together from
wheel-thrown and hand-built components. Featured images: Doug Herren, Yellow
Ewer and
Green-Vase Form.

Congratulations
to Liz
Mitchell, who has been selected by Juror Kristen J.
Owens for the solo exhibition at HAM next

Temptation" (pictured above), was made in response to the tens of
thousands of children sexually abused by religious clerics and laity.
