About the Exhibitions

Precious & Temporary | Main Gallery

This group exhibition looks at family memory as a living material rather than a fixed record. The show includes the works of Nick D’Ornellas, Nazli Efe, Colby Lamson-Gordon, Tone Miller, and Andina Marie Osorio. These five artists work across photography, sculpture, video, textiles, and installation, drawing on domestic objects, personal photographs, inherited customs, and multigenerational archives.


Steady Hands for Wandering Eyes | Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg Gallery

In this exhibition, filmmaker Chantal Feitosa-Desouza analyzes the screen as both a tool of witness and a site of limitation. At a moment when complex events are routinely compressed into clips, headlines, and rapidly circulating images, Feitosa-Desouza asks viewers to meditate with stories that cannot be contained in a single frame.


Terms of Endearment | Marité and Joe Robinson Strolling Gallery I

This exhibition follows the many roles photography has played within
Geoffrey Biddle’s family over decades. Photographs made by his parents, pictures from his childhood, and images of his children and grandchildren trace Biddle’s changing position within a multigenerational family history. Cutting, sequencing, and returning to these photographs, he treats the family album as an active form shaped by repetition, distance, and conversation.


Morning Glory | Stair-gazing Gallery

Hilliary Gabryel will show her newly commissioned sculpture Morning Glory in the return of the Art Center’s Stair-gazing Gallery. Gabryel examines aspirational luxury and utilizes mass-produced objects to reflect this crucial part of contemporary American consumer culture.
