Department of Art History

Please join for the opening of the Heaven Gallery exhibition Stable curated by art history MAPH alumnus Christian Bumala, now a doctoral student at Harvard University. Stable considers the work behind all that has already been, taking into question the labor underpinning our conception of the often taken for granted. In recent projects in sculpture and cyanotype, DoVA alumni Rebekka Federle, Laveen Gammie, and Susan Jablonski prod the unruly edges relating bodies, structures, and the natural world. Together their work unsettles the presumed boundaries between fixed and fluid, instead foregrounding the mutual dependencies woven through acts of becoming. In each artist’s hands, product registers practice as the imprint of time, habit, and the concerted efforts troubling both. The exhibition is on view January 16–March 1 act Heaven Gallery, 1550 N. Milwaukee Ave #2. There is an artist talk January 24, 12–1 PM.
