Mary Laube and her show, I Will Name Myself in the Dark, were reviewed by Ian Etter in Whitehot Magazine this week! See the link in our bio to read the full article in Whitehot Magazine.
Paolo Arao is a textile artist who works materials ranging from hand-woven textiles made on a floor loom to found fabric like used clothing or tarps. His work is based in abstract geometry relating to ideas of pattern and color in indigenous Filipino textile traditions. Intricate patterns and colors are meant to hold spiritual, healing, and/or protective powers with the more dizzying the design carrying more power.
Arao has had a busy past few months, starting the year off being awarded a 2023-2024 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. From December 2023-April 2034, his show, Reverberations, was on view at the Bemis Center in Nebraska, featuring a 5-year collective of his work.

Congratulations to Carly Glovinski! Her show, Almanac, is opening tonight at Mass MoCA! If you're in the area, stop by to see her work and meet her at the opening.
Edra Soto is a Puerto-Rican born artist, curator, educator, and co-director of the outdoor project space, The Franklin. Her work is motivated by constructed social hierarchies, diasporic identity, and colonialism, which she situates in engaging and contemplative contexts. She aims to challenge the boundaries between audience, artist, and the work itself, and to amplify the democratic potential that art has to offer.
Edra is part of the Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape at the Carnegie Museum. She will have her own solo show, lazos/terrenales at the ICA at MEC&A Maine opening July 12. Opening this fall at the Doris C. Freedman Plaza in Central Park, her piece Graft will be unveiled to the public.

Opening next Thursday, June 6, is The FLAG Art Foundation's new group exhibition, The Swimmer! It features artist Amy Park's watercolor collection "Nine Swimming Pools and a Broken Glass" based of Ed Ruscha's 1968 photobook of the same name.
The show will be open until August 9.
Congratulations, Amy!
Opening this past week at The Old Stone House is David Rios Ferreira's Angelic Troublemakers, Tactical Deviants! This show is on view now until June 30.
Just in time for Pride Month, this new body of work explores figures from the Revolutionary War and suggested sexualities based on historical evidence. These figures are portrayed against today's landscape of anti-trans bills and censorship of q***r history and literature. In his "unportraits", Ferreira represents LBGTQ+ historical subjects, who were crucial in acquiring freedom, property, and power within and for their communities, in a non-literal or abstract manner.
