Each artist utilizes the print medium to explore and maneuver the various complex relationships that arise in thinking about the natural world, trying to live with it, and examining its equally emotional and physical affect on our interactivity (or sometimes denial) of it.
Join us in the Art Bar for our reception on June 16th from 7pm to 10pm.
The show runs from June 16th to June 21st from 12am to 5pm daily.
We hope to see you at what promises to be a dynamic and visually exciting show!

That’s What She Really Said
Dialogues Amongst the Feminine

Understanding the feminine as an unstable category, yet one rich with identifications, expressions, practices and interpretations, “That’s What She Really Said” features a wide display of art from/ and/ or about women. The exhibit grapples with two major demands: we try to answer the Guerrilla Girls’ call for the presence of women artists in gallery spaces, while we internalize the meanings and the constructions that come to the fore by bringing together art under this context. We demand an examination of what is being both said and unsaid between the borders of our art, when we bring them together in the space of a gallery. The colloquial title of the show, “That’s What She Really Said” speaks to the dialogues of art made by people with certain positionalities–some common, some disparate, some even altogether missing– in the world. What hangs in the spaces between our art is both the potential solidarity but also the potential disjuncture offered by the space of a gallery. The show brings together a room full of women, but also begs the questions of who is speaking, what is being said/unsaid and who is at the other end listening?
