Sept 8 – Oct 13 Never Mind All That Adrian Rhodes

Reception:
Thurs., Sept. 8, 2022, 4 to 6 pm Poole Art Gallery

Adrian Rhodes artwork inhabits a space between immersive, site-specific installation and a traditional understanding of individual pieces. As a medium based on the creation of the multiple, printmaking becomes a method for creating structure. This framework, indulging a desire for order, creates space for disruptions. Her process is an anxiety response, reflecting on an obsessive desire to ruminate on the past loss while preserving present joys.

Oct 20 – Dec 1 Speciation Melissa Yes

Reception:
Thurs., Oct 20, 2022, 4 to 6 pm Poole Art Gallery

Melissa Yes’s work is a strategy that uses appropriation, play, and social engagement to (attempt to) understand mainstream American myths and attitudes. Ambitious multimedia projects form the gravitational center of her practice, which also sustains an orbit of smaller experiments in video, painting, and sculpture. She has an affection for glitches and for un-precious materials, which offer both levity and critique of her subjects (and herself).

March 2 – April 27 Signifiers, Dualities, and Dialogs Gregory Martin

Reception:
Thurs., March 2, 2023, 4 to 6 pm Poole Art Gallery

Although Gregory Martin’s paintings are most easily categorized as landscapes, they could also be thought of as contemplative spaces in which to experience dualities and polarities within human nature, the natural world, and the practice of painting such as growth and decay, the illusion of depth and flatness, the “truth” of photography and the “fiction” of painting, the differences between our ideals and our actions.
