Comix Body, curated by Mita Mahato
Oct. 8 to Nov. 1, 2018
Reception Oct 29, 5-7 p.m. with panel interview of featured artists
Comix Body focuses on the concept of "body image" in the work of contemporary independent comics artists. The artists are interested particularly in perspectives on the body that challenge broad cultural assumptions about health, gender, race, beauty, ability, nudity, and sex. The exhibit will consider how bodies move through the world—as sensitive skin, as vulnerable meat, as human, as animal.
Artists: Ajuan Mance, Ann Xu, Asher Craw, E.T. Russian, Eleanor Davis, Hannah K. Lee, Joe Garber, Kelly Froh, Krystal DiFronzo, Robyn Jordan, Vanessa Davis, and Whit Taylor

Carletta Carrington Wilson: letter to a laundress
Aug. 28 to Sep. 29, 2018
Reception and Gallery Talk Aug. 31, 5 p.m.
letter to a laundress is an immersive installation that mirrors a ubiquitous and familiar form from a bygone era, the clothesline. This work reconfigures the figure of the laundress and the washerwoman as witness. It sheds light on the unique position these women held as a result of their occupational tasks during an era where thousands of African Americans were summarily lynched throughout the United States.
