Don’t miss the 50 for 50 Interactive piece 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜, on view through May 25. This work is an interactive video art piece created by Rick Gonzalez. It is a collection of voicemails from strangers set to video footage collected. 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 is played on loop, allowing the viewer to listen in on voicemails left by strangers–ranging from silly jokes, compelling stories, to private confessions. The project explores memory, anonymity, and human connection.

Rick Gonzalez () is a video artist and mixed media artist who lives and works in Washington, D.C. With a minor in cinema from McDaniel College, Rick has always been drawn to artistic expression that tells a story. Through collaging and, most recently, an interactive video project, he has continued to experiment with different ways to create connections between unexpected images and visuals

CALL FOR ARTISTS: Touchstone Gallery invites artists to submit work for 𝙁𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙮: 𝘼 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙞𝙧, a group exhibition exploring the layered histories, lived experiences, and enduring legacies that form our collective identity.

Memory is not only personal, but communal—carried over generations, embedded in place, and reflected in everyday life. This call seeks work that engages with ancestry, migration, neighborhood histories, family narratives, cultural traditions, and the marks left by time.

How do we remember? What do we inherit, preserve, or challenge? What stories have been silenced, and which ones endure?

It’s time for another round of intern favorites! Kai selected 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙌𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 by Autumn Spears (.art)

“I chose this piece because I love the colors of the drawing and the yarn. The piece as a whole reminds me of childhood. The crocheted border feels light and playful while the drawings of the toys remind me of the games i used to play growing up.”
