Gallery Reception: Holding Pattern
March 12, 2022 @ 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM
On view in HP Gallery from March 8th – April 29, 2022.
Opening reception: 5 – 9PM
Performance by Chris Duncan at 8PM
Curated by Nick Larsen and part of the 2022 Curator Series, Holding Pattern brings together works by Chris Duncan, Nick Fagan, Hasler Gomez, Kara Gut, Ann Hamilton, Alicia Little, Alex Lucas, Cat Mailloux, Julia Schwadron Marianelli, Michael Mercil, William J. O’Brien, Hannah Parrett, Austin Pratt, Emily Manalo Ruiz, Dean Smith, Jared Stanley, and Ryland Wharton. Although the scale and materiality of the works in the exhibition vary greatly, a number of formal, aesthetic, and process throughlines emerge: textiles and references to domestic textile objects; collage and found imagery/text; camouflage and floral pattern references to landscape; codes, symbol vocabularies, and words as both images and things (and more, if you’re looking for them). The goal for Holding Pattern was to mirror and amplify the textual, visual, and material interplay within the works in the space itself, an installation as meta-poem and vice versa.
