Here Is Our Hole In The Ground
Curated by Jess Bass & Yue Xu
October 16 - November 26, 2026
Opening Reception: October 16th, 2026, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
The exhibition premieres new work by: Jess Bass, Camille Casemier, Maurício Chades, Corey Smith, Odette Stout, and Yue Xu, who use the metaphor of the rabbit — its body, social structures, habitat, and ecosystem — to playfully explore the dynamics of power within global, complex networks of ecology, economics, government, and politics.

Second Hand
Molly Blumberg
October 16 - November 26, 2026
Opening Reception: October 16th, 2026, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
In Second Hand, Molly Blumberg presents a body of work that embraces processes of un-functioning and re-functioning. Objects slump, reach, and join one another, sometimes seamlessly and sometimes by force. She collects and transforms detritus, exploring what might grow when things are broken apart and reassembled. A broken chair droops into a bodily blob, bedsprings reach out with new appendages, organic matter is sealed in resin as it decays inside its shell.

Community Kitchen Dinners:
Recipes for SurvivancE
SAVE THE DATE:
September 28th (Venezuela)
Two seatings each night:
5:30 - 7:00 PM + 7:30-9:00 PM
Join us for a series of community kitchen dinners, made from recipes for survivance, storytelling, and solidarity.
Survivance, as writer Gerald Vizenor explains, is an active sense of presence over absence, the continuance of stories, and the refusal of mere victimhood; in those dinners we are showing cultures that practice survivance through the continuance of recipes from their homeland gathering around a dinner table.
Inspired by artist projects responding to the imperial occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan including Enemy Kitchen and Combat Kitchen, Community Kitchen Dinners will feature conversations around food, memory, migration from regions the US/Israel empire is currently devastating.
