#underfoundations

Newly Commissioned Works by Rosa Aiello, Mary Walling Blackburn, Nanna Debois Buhl, Catherine Czacki, Ben Hagari, Sol Hashemi, Madeline Hollander and Alexandra Lerman, Janelle Iglesias, Ryan Johnson, and Xu Wang. Situated in the building's lower level, the works in Under Foundations share an interest in what lies beneath the surface—the repressed, the discarded, the roots, or the source. Many of these works speak to unconscious desires, while others seek to trace, discover, and examine the past. The exhibition evokes a storage space of forsaken objects, full of stories and revelations. Together, these works incorporate a variety of disciplines—psychoanalysis, behavioral science, economics, and affect theory—and the impulse, act, and process of making are integral parts of a search for the elusive origins of the creative endeavor. They look to psychological states, everyday movements and behaviors, art historical touchstones, and deep-seated desires as points of departure. Madeline Hollander's performances, part of Illegal Motion by Madeline Hollander and Alexandra Lerman, will take place on the following dates and times: January 24, 4 and 5pm February 22, 3 and 5pm March 29, 3 and 5pm April 12, 3 and 5pm April 13, 3 and 5pm Performed by: Andrew Champlin, Marielis Garcia, Katie Gaydos, Madeline Hollander, and Jeremy Pheiffer.
