Dearly Disillusioned Open Through April 5th

Dearly Disillusioned
Third floor, McNichols Civic Center Building
January 18-April 5, 2020

Dearly Disillusioned is a boundary-pushing exhibit coinciding with the centennial of women's suffrage and the fourth annual Womxn's March. Four local art collectives, Birdseed Collective, Hardly Soft, Odessa and Pink Progression, come together with unique and compelling perspectives on gender identity, protest, and equality. Curators and artists collaborate to explore new intersections of historical and contemporary narratives that inspire change in our community.

Reminiscing Declarations, a collaborative installation by Birdseed Collective artists Meredith Feniak, Karma Leigh and Kaitlyn Tucek, considers the visions of the suffragettes and the current state of women’s equality. Artists illuminate the stories of the disadvantaged and marginalized while intentionally pointing to the patriarchy as it continues to use its power to limit the voices of the feminine proletariat. Guests are encouraged to take a memorandum as they experience the work. Reminiscing Declarations is curated by Moe Gram.

In Trusting only Ourselves, Hardly Soft deliberates the effects of living in chaos for more than 1,000 days, noting the way the sense of urgency has adapted with time’s intervention and how the friction and force create an invisible weight. In conversation are works by artists Masha Sha and Tomas Díaz Cedeño, two minds that probe the limits between object-driven and process-driven studio investigations.

Odessa presents In the Making, an exhibition that challenges assumptions of HOW and WHY women make. Understanding that often women are asked to create work about, in-line with, or suggesting their femininity, this exhibition brings together our favorite female artists whose practice expands beyond these topics with bold, innovative ways of making and inspiring dialogue. Participating artists include Sierra Montoya Barela, Laura Dreyer, Talya Feldman, Shavana Smiley, Lindsay Smith Gustave and Hanna Waters.

Pink Progression: Coalesce incorporates a fusion of narratives through collaborative artwork. This collective process utilizes the power of networks to inspire social change, influenced by over a century of suffrage movements. Themes of inclusivity, equality and gender identity are woven into mixed media approaches. These multidimensional works emphasize the collective issues that confront us and the transformational ways we can find common ground. Participating artists include, Jane Dodge + Judy Anderson, Tiffany Matheson + Scottie Burgess + Robin Hextrum, Kathy Mitchell-Garton + Diane Allison, Eileen Roscina Richardson + Courtney E. Morgan, Regan Rosburg + Sarah Pickman, Louis Trujillo + James Mullane, Eriko Tsogo + Batkhishig Batochir + Tsogo Mijid, and Liz Quan + Sabin Aell.

Estimadas Desilusionadas
Tercer piso, Edificio “McNichols” del Centro Cívico 

Enero 18 - Abril 5, 2020

Dearly Disillusioned (Estimada desilusionada) es una exhibición que supera los límites y coincide con el centenario del sufragio femenino y la cuarta Marcha Anual de Mujeres. Cuatro colectivos de arte locales, Birdseed Collective, Hardly Soft, Odessa Pink Progression, se unen con perspectivas únicas y convincentes sobre identidad de género, protesta e igualdad. Curadores y artistas colaboran para explorar nuevas intersecciones de narrativas históricas y contemporáneas que inspiran el cambio en nuestra comunidad.

Reminiscing Declarations (Recordando Declaraciones), una instalación colaborativa de los artistas de Birdseed Collective, Meredith Feniak, Karma Leigh y Kaitlyn Tucek, considera las visiones de las sufragistas y el estado actual de la igualdad de las mujeres. Las artistas iluminan las historias de los desfavorecidos y marginados mientras señalan intencionalmente al patriarcado que todavía continúa utilizando su poder para limitar las voces del proletariado femenino. Se alienta a los invitados a tomar un memorando mientras experimentan el trabajo. Reminiscing Declarations está curada por Moe Gram.

En Trusting only Ourselves (Confiando sólo en nosotros mismos)Hardly Soft pondera los efectos de vivir en el caos durante más de 1000 días y señala la forma en que el sentido de urgencia se ha adaptado con la intervención del tiempo y cómo la fricción y la fuerza crean un peso invisible. En la conversación se encuentran obras de los artistas Masha Sha y Tomas Díaz Cedeño, dos mentes que investigan los límites entre las investigaciones de estudio impulsadas por objetos y procesos.

Odessa presenta In the Making (Construyéndose), una exposición que desafía los supuestos de CÓMO y POR QUÉ hacen las mujeres. Entendiendo que a menudo se les pide a las mujeres que creen trabajos basados en, enmarcados en o sugeridos por su feminidad, esta exposición reúne a nuestras artistas favoritas, cuya práctica se expande más allá de estos temas con formas audaces e innovadoras de hacer e inspirar el diálogo. Las artistas participantes incluyen a Sierra Montoya Barela, Laura Dreyer, Talya Feldman, Shavana Smiley, Lindsay Smith Gustave y Hanna Waters.

Pink Progression: Coalesce (Fusionarse) incorpora una fusión de narrativas a través de obras de arte colaborativas. Este proceso colectivo utiliza el poder de las redes para inspirar el cambio social, influenciado por más de un siglo de movimientos de sufragio. Los temas de inclusividad, igualdad e identidad de género están entretejidos en enfoques de medios mixtos. Estos trabajos multidimensionales enfatizan los problemas colectivos que nos confrontan y las formas transformadoras en que podemos encontrar un terreno común. Los artistas participantes incluyen a Jane Dodge + Judy Anderson, Tiffany Matheson + Scottie Burgess + Robin Hextrum, Kathy Mitchell-Garton + Diane Allison, Eileen Roscina Richardson + Courtney E. Morgan, Regan Rosburg + Sarah Pickman, Louis Trujillo + James Mullane, Eriko Tsogo + Batkhishig Batochir + Tsogo Mijid, y Liz Quan + Sabin Aell.
