Join us TONIGHT, Sat., July 22 for the one-day-only viewing and reception for Cole Miller’s solo exhibition “Spring.” Drinks and munchies served between 5-8pm. Please stop in to meet the artist, see his gorgeous photos, and bid a final farewell to Ejecta Projects. It will be our last public exhibition in the space.

The Ejecta Projects origins story can be traced back to a few events. Most notably was the 2015 exhibition and book project “Ejecta.” (Image #3) This collaboration, exhibited at the now defunct Flashpoint Gallery in Washington, DC, was the first time we ( and ) permitted a sincere melding of our individual professional practices with our home life as spouses and parents. After we deinstalled the show we realized how much we wanted to find new ways to work together.

Multiple conversations were facilitated by the Kunstnarhuset Messen artists’ residency in Ålvik, Norway between 2015 and 2017. (Image #4) This time at the residency, among other artists and writers, helped us hone our intentions for our next collaboration. We toyed with the possibilities of curatorial initiatives or other writing projects, but those ideas seemed to less fluidly include and expand our shared home and marital relationship (and the messiness of all those things).

Eventually, in 2017, while flying above the Arctic Circle (image #5) that Anthony, contemplating his insignificance in scale to the geography below, specifically hit on the idea of opening and co-directing a gallery. It was a much larger undertaking than the other options we had been discussing, yet it felt like the right gesture of creativity and collaboration. It is not especially easy to now close our doors, but Ejecta Projects always signified a possibility for change and a means to be transported. Because the gallery has always been a way to integrate, explore, and envelop our various longings, ambitions, and curiosities, we are confident we’ll still find new ways to connect with you, our community both near and far.

One remedy to the hot summer week ahead is to seek out relief in the cool A/C of an academic art gallery. Coincidentally, Ejecta Projects' travelling exhibition "Scatter Terrain" continues to be on display at the Julio Fine Arts Gallery at Loyola University in Baltimore (a lovely academic art gallery). This show presents pockets of “terrain” – representations of peculiar landscapes, architectural gestures, intimate domestic corners – by 25 contemporary artists. The videos, drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, and sculpture in the exhibition offer varied approaches to notions of home and place.

So go beat the heat with some super cool art while it is on display through August 10th! See link in bio for details. .charlton.studio .v.geelen .dan .art

As promised, we are pleased to follow up on the April 6th gallery visit by a Dickinson College Advanced Poetry class taught by Professor Chilson. Just this past Saturday we received four of the completed ekphrastic poems - poems written in response to works of art - by Caroline Nilsen, Maggie Hoge, Davis Langhof, and Maura Lyons. These talented student poets composed works in response to artworks by Lindsay Deifik, Rein Brooks, Brian Walters II, and Thomas Tustin, respectively. Swipe to read the poems after each relevant artwork image and thanks again to Prof. Chilson and her students for supporting "Cannibals of Love" and Ejecta Projects in this unique and impressive way.

Today is the last day for “Cannibals of Love” (here until 7!) and given the exhibition is all about cinematically-scaled themes of love, romance, and humor in art it seems appropriate to close with some love birds.

Peter Morgan’s whimsical ceramic sculpture of two lovebirds takes its name from the Hollywood couple: musician Tommy Lee and actress Pamela Anderson. While Morgan offers a somewhat humorous nod to their tumultuous relationship that first made headlines in the mid-1990s with a scandalous stolen s*x tape, but here, the rosy-faced love birds reveal no turmoil. In fact, Morgan adheres pretty closely to the common characteristics of Agapornis roseicollis: the identical appearance of male and female birds, their bright green plumage and pink faces, and their preference to sit side-by-side. The sculpture is a reminder of the analogies we find in media and nature; the longing to leer at others’ relationships is its own kind of bird watching.

According to Henry Gepfer, his video short, “Tenderness,” is centered on the often-romanticized art of letterpress printing. What starts as a seemingly ordinary practice of cutting paper and gathering the letterpress blocks turns into a surreal, strangely intimate and bodily scene of printing. The artist, glistening in a box, uses his mouth to print notes of “tenderness.”

Henry Gepfer is an artist, curator, and educator based in Lancaster, PA.

Ron Lambert’s video LESSON PLANS: Understanding Love overlays video of lush, brightly saturated flowers over romantic scenes of black-and-white films from the 1940s and 1950s. Through these kaleidoscopic blooms, the viewer sees couples kissing and hears fragments of dialogue underneath a whirling, symphonic soundtrack. According to the artist, “The resulting footage is overbearing in its sweetness.”

Just before any of the saccharine sentiments intensify, the wistful clips are interrupted by a mechanical beep. This sound might be familiar to an older generation, as it was used to tell teachers to advance the frame in instructional films. Here, this jarring tone signals how love, relationships, and gender/s*xual roles are learned through depictions on screen. Lessons in love aren’t simply felt, but rather are filtered through Hollywood conventions and restrictive mores.
