Exhibition Map/Checklist

Drawing on the PressYess archive of 1000s of vintage slides, some from their own families and many more that are found images, the artist duo will create a cozy viewing environment where visitors can watch projected slide shows, curate and project their own slide shows using vintage projectors, slide viewers, and slide carousels, and share their own slides in daily slideshow potlucks.

PressYess, is Meg Pohlod and Anna Newman, who create community-focused, accessible art using repurposed materials. Their work often incorporates discarded objects like shipping cartons, found photographs, and textiles, each marked by history and wear. This focus on the life cycle of materials shapes their creative process, imbuing each piece with a connection to both the past and present. By giving new life and community to objects that might otherwise be overlooked, PressYess invites viewers to reflect on the stories and memories embedded within these materials, creating art that feels both personal and universally relatable. Their practice emphasizes sustainability, collaboration, and the idea that even the most humble materials can carry deep meaning when reimagined with care.
