Float

A summer art exhibition curated by Robin Hauck of Misstropolis.

FLOAT is designed as an invitation to drift and a refusal of cynicism. Aerial sculptures, painted sand sunsets, and fiber works lift us beyond knowledge into imagination, where we can appreciate magic and beauty, beyond the noise of the everyday. 

The five artists exhibiting answer this call in inventive, personal ways. Even as their work varies from rowdy to serene, painted sand to plant-dyed yard, to garden fencing, all cite nature as creative inspiration and spiritual guide. Making is a deliberate resistance to “the pull,” as Jo Lobdell describes it, and a refusal to be hijacked by sociopolitical realities. Lundsager’s insistence “you will not stop me from having fun in my life,” and Arch’s “I want to be audacious,” bring a rebelliousness into the space. Glovinski’s “I make work despite,” and Carew’s “this is not about lightness…” are sober reminders of the sustained effort required to make work that seems buoyant.
