This group exhibition looks at masculinity as represented by male artists working in forms and mediums often considered to be the domain of women. Using materials like thread, yarn and felt in practices like weaving, knitting and embroidery , these visually compelling two and three-dimensional works aim to challenge preconceptions about the subject and forms of men’s art. With a literal construction of masculinity, these fiber artists present contrasts meant to perplex and intrigue.
Artists include : Youn Woo Chaa, Robert Conger, Angelo Filomeno, Craig Fisher, Kent Henrickson, Mark Newport, Chris Niver, Adam Parker Smith, Paul Villinski, Michael Brennand- Wood, and Rob Wynne.

New show, coming up fast:
Movimientos: Two Generations of Chicana Artists
Opening Reception: Thursday Sept. 24, 5-8
Gallery Talk with Favianna Rodriguez:
Friday, Sept 25 4pm
In this group exhibition, contemporary artists
representing two generations of Chicana feminist
artists will exhibit an array of work that reflects pride
in their Mexican heritage as well as patterns of racial
inequality in the United States for Mexican Americans.
Exhibiting prints, paintings and installation, these
artists open dialogues about sexism, racism,
homophobia, and poverty as interlinked issues for
women of Mexican descent in the US. These Chicana
artist-activists participated in or grew out of the
Chicano movimiento of the 1960s and 70s which
sought to define a cultural and political identity for
Americans of Mexican descent.
The first generation is represented by
Ester Hernandez and the second by
Favianna Rodriguez and Melanie Cervantes.
