CURRENT “Peer across as the mundane flickers and fades away. Whether in sleep, reminiscence, or play we walk two shores of the same strange sea. IN DREAMS I WALK WITH YOU sits where conscious and subconscious meet, exploring the magic of making and what is gathered along the way. Illuminating the spaces between the click of the light and the start of the dream. Travel with us through a portal where whimsy and ordinary embrace and collective visions emerge.”
Featured Artists: Sal Moreno, Kate Hefferan, Eli James Clayton, Jeremy Plotkin Wong, Elio Baseman, Gabriele Sergejevaite, Hannah Sellers, Ren Ventura, Alan Perry, Marjorie Hellyer, Becker Corrigan, Maddie Brucker, Kit Matthews, Jek Jergens, Rose Cunningham, Eva Geczy, Boo, Izabelle Brandli, Rhea Godot, Esmeralda Montgomery, tif, Line Kuzniar, Alex Basler, Teagan Annesly

Introducing our Heart poet for November, @rose_helenc!
Rose Cunningham is a photographer and writer whose work seeks to define queer desire as surrealist praxis. Her research delves into the theory of eroticism, not simply as sexual activity, but as a playful rejection of heteronormative capitalist reproduction. Her subversive poetry and images are often paired together as an auto-theoretical means of entangling sexuality, gender, and erotic desire.
Come over and read their beautiful poem!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected to be a part of the 2024 Fall Bridge Program at the Hyde Park Art Center curated by Yoonshin Park.
I’m so excited to participate in engaging conversations with other local artists and to prepare for a cumulative group show in January.
“The Bridge Program fosters generative dialogue among a select group of artists (10 artists max), in a seminar-style course designed to push your art practice into new realms. You’ll work in an intensive, small-group setting to refine project ideas, better articulate the central concerns of your practice, deepen the conceptual grounding of your work, and situate your practice within a wider art world context. You’ll participate in critiques, writing sessions, essay discussions, online readings, and peer to peer visits.”

History turned our deities into fertility goddesses, our art into craft, our pain into virtue. To be feminine in any body has become synonymous with being powerless. Little by little the feminine was lobotomized, femicided, and condensed into bite sized pieces but our anger has never subsided. Arson is a Woman’s Work explores the aesthetics of rage, desire, and reveling in the weaponization of the self.
