Tranifestations
un:cover :: Re:member
Sept. 29-Oct. 20
Tranifestations is a solo exhibition/installation by Olly Greer. Within the space, care is a medium, and trans magic is honored through Olly's menagerie of materials. Their installation saddles joy on top of grief and melts it back into joy through a cycle of un:covering and re:membering. This work is made by trans hands for trans folx, while all are welcome to come feel the glow and take time to be enveloped by this inward turning space titled on a very gay axis.

jose santiago perez: girth
Girth is an exhibition of new works that explore material encircling. The corporeal experience of charged circumferences — architectural and sensorial — carry varied hefts of significance. The imposing presence (menace) of white columns. The enclosure of gallery walls. The works in the exhibition follow the decorative drive of knotted and coiled mylar — a material of insulation that both encircles and refracts Girth crafts a queer encounter with circumferences that sheath and shimmer in response to the gallery’s most towering architectural feature: two columns.
