SUMMARY:MOTHERHOOD: GOOD GRIEF featuring artist Brianna Allen
DESCRIPTION:Main Gallery: MOTHERHOOD: GOOD GRIEF solo show featuring artist Brianna Allen \nFirst Friday Opening Reception Friday June 5th \nLive Music. Refreshments. Free event and open to the public. This show runs from June 3rd through June 26th. \nFrom Brianna: \n“I am a multidisciplinary artist who gathers stories to practice self-introspection\, community building and consider the broader strokes of social systems around motherhood. My art practice considers how sharing vulnerable stories in exhibit\, literary and performance venues inspires a deeper kind of listening. It builds relationships\, it awakens joys and insecurities. My social art practice project\, The Momologoue Collective is informed by a community of story contributors\, creative partners and audiences. I continue to expand upon an interdisciplinary approach that includes paintings\, installation\, performance\, and playwriting. I’m building an archive of voices to timestamp mothers’ lived experiences in America\, exploring topics of grief\, bodily autonomy\, and care systems. My work proposes a reevaluation of care systems towards a future centered in support\, listening\, protection\, education and connection”. \nThis show will highlight paintings\, cement installation work and the written word. \nFor more info about Brianna and her project: https://www.momologuecollective.com/ \n—————- \nBack Gallery: Artist Zirrus Vandevere. \n \nZirrus will be installing sculpture pieces made from found/reclaimed materials and SCOBY (the mushroomy looking growth that occurs during the fermentation process while making kombucha). Zirrus describes her work this way:  \n“The fact that it’s a living\, growing thing that sticks to itself and to substrates as it dries in various states of translucency feels symbolic to me on a number of levels. It feels abundant\, messy\, curious and earthy\, like life. Like culture. Like symbiotic relationships that sometimes get messy. Like all things with senescence\, unless preserved for a time in one way or another\, will return to the soil and meld into nature carrying its own complexity of energy that can neither be created nor destroyed but only changed… \nIn this way\, each container shaped little soul is both entirely unique and ultimately similar to others in its clade. Like you. Or like me. \nIn my installation for the back gallery\, I’m hoping to discover new ways to play with these creatures and how they interact with various substrates in homage to life and to creativity itself\, illuminating and protecting the pieces to hopefully instill in viewers some sort of simulacra of curiosity and reverence for all things coincidentally ephemeral and somehow also held within the construct we call time.”  \nZirrus’ show will be opening concurrently with Brianna Allen’s solo show titled MOTHER OF… \nThis show will run from June 3rd through June 26th. \n
