Active Care / Trying Anyway | Anna Brody
Sept 17 – Sept 26, 2019 | Reception: Sept 19, 2:00 — 4:00pm
Lionel Rombach Gallery

Anna Brody works both intuitively and formulaically to sublimate the methods used for loving others onto culturally iconic found objects. Photographs, screen prints, cameraless imagery, text, and sculptural elements are employed in exercises of mimicry, grooming, adulation, and isolation to visually correlate the labor involved in the growth of a relationship with the ultimately pointless process off attempting to access the true interior of another. Brody’s work examines how bonds are formed by paying attention, learning by doing, and the merging of the a priori with plasticity, and how the act of trying with no intention of succeeding might subvert traditional notions of value and result in a more caring union.
Anna Brody (b. Washington, DC) received her B.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design and is currently pursuing her M.F.A. at the University of Arizona in Tucson. She merges visual and text-based forms to explore, relate, and describe the non-linear, non-binary world of things that grow laterally and exist simultaneously; with this work she hopes to honor okay-ness, and crystallize the quiet accomplishment of just being, now.

Selected works from Birds of Paradise by Sara Golish, curated by Ashley Rubin
Joseph Gross Gallery
Sept 12 — Nov 14, 2019 | Reception Sept 26, 5 – 6:30PM

In Birds of Paradise, Sara questions the symbolism of conventional oil portraiture through a lens of eco-feminism by depicting traditionally oppressed bodies with dignity and grace.

Classically trained in the tradition of oil portraiture, in Sara’s work the tropes, images, and materials of the European canon become resignified. Her work is about liberating not just the subject from a patriarchal grasp but liberating the forms, techniques and materials from their historical usage and signification.

The tropical setting calls to mind women’s traditional connection to the earth, while also alluding to the colonial history of oppression. Sara questions the conventions of oil portraiture through a lens of eco-feminism by depicting traditionally oppressed bodies with the dignity, grace, and autonomy denied to them in the classical tradition.

Sara Golish received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree as a Drawing & Painting major in 2008, acquiring the Eric Freifeld Award for “Proficiency in draughtsmanship” In 2011 to expand upon her visual language, she completed courses at George Brown College in graphic & web design and development.She has exhibited in Toronto, Montreal, Charleston, Denver and New York.

Lionel Rombach Presents:
When It Rises | Danielle Jones
Aug 5 – Sept 5, 2019 | Reception: Sept 5, 3 — 4:30 pm

Danielle Jones engages the physicality of paper as a means of exploring what her childhood experiences with flood preparation has taught her; to repeatedly store, raise, and protect. Objects are strung, wrapped, weathered and finally suspended from the ceiling in an installation that confronts uncertainty similar to those created by a waterlogged collection of baggage awaiting another storm. Jones’ installation is an acknowledgement of the accumulated intangible moments in life, lingering and heavier with time, protected yet vulnerable to the unpredictable. Together,
the objects and what they represent seem to pull with their weight, the light of the room and reveal that the mechanism that once futilely protected them has become just as damaged. Jones’ practice seems an uncertain impracticality that displays an impulse to conceal and preserve fueling a rapid cycle that has become more of a distraction than a means of protection.

Jones is a New Orleans born visual artist working in mixed media. She received her Bachelors of Art from Southeastern Louisiana University and is currently pursuing a Masters in Fine Arts at The University of Arizona. In her work, Jones explores moments of intersection between physical and psychological environments tied to land, memory and time. ... See MoreSee Less

Ecological Bodies & The Haptic Home revolves around ideas of tactile knowledge and the psychological fabric of home, family, and relationship to the earth.
