PAST EXHIBITIONS
CULTIVATED SPACE
This group exhibition includes works that resonate with the complexities and divergent perceptions attributed to gardens and cultivated spaces. On a personal and intimate level gardens are perceived as a place of refuge, solace and emotional centering. The larger, more broader impacts however, reveal the disparate interpretations of cultivated spaces from socio-economic and environmental perspectives. The works in this exhibition are not literal representations, but rather through artistic processes and intentions serve as an entry point in considering a myriad of intersections.
SYD CARPENTER EARTH OFFERINGS
Syd Carpenter identifies and honors African American farmers and gardeners with her new series, Farm Bowls, by integrating the universal form of a stoneware bowl with architectural and organic forms observed on farms.
JEANNE SILVERTHORNE: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
Through cast rubber sculptures, Silverthorne posits her studio as a metaphor for abandonment, collapse, and entropy as it relates to the absurdity of social constructs and the misguided perceptions of stability and constancy. Today as we reflect on the work displayed, created between 2009 and 2021 it becomes relatable to our current state of social isolation and displacement.
FIELD COMPANION: AN IMMERSIVE VIDEO INSTALLATION
Philadelphia-based artists Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib, known for their fantastical moving images and alternate realities, have created a new immersive film and installation for Rowan University Art Gallery. Field Companion, set in a microcosmic forest, is inspired by the pine barrens that dot Southern New Jersey.
