PAINT YOUR LIFE!
Curated by Ryan Steadman. Each artist in PAINT YOUR LIFE! chooses to show us who they truly are, no matter how difficult, awkward, silly, or even dangerous an act that might be. Their art is a gift, often helping viewers feel a little braver, less alone, or more understood. Yet, this powerful desire to share one’s reality is almost always (perhaps necessarily) paired with an equally powerful urge to embellish it. Featuring Leonard Baby, James Castle, Nicole Eisenman, Jörg Immendorff, Sahara Longe, Louisa Matthiasdottir, Emily Pettigrew, Arisa Yoshioka, Lisa Yuskavage, and many others.

DEAN & KRISTA SCHARF: HOW TO. The Scharf’s collaborative work occurs wordlessly. A unique process, each work is started by one of the artists and then handed over to the other to change, add to, or delete from as they see fit, before being handed back. The works are exchanged over again until both artists feel that they are finished.
SUSAN ROSTOW: CODDIEWOOMPLE.
‘Coddiwomple’ is a slang word meaning “to travel purposefully toward an unknown destination”, the ethos that drives Rostow’s practice by using printed paper, clay, pigments, and sand, her sculptures grow through layering, burying, and uncovering.

As an object of study, light is hard to see. Ambivalently, it is both a particle with no mass and the fastest wave in the universe. As a material, it occupies great expanses of space yet presents itself as mere surface or void. Watts per Lumen explores how we nevertheless orient ourselves through an interpretation of the energy that it carries. Curated by Sophie Landres.
