Continuing through October 29, 2026 Liam Everett presents an exhibition of small, mid-scale, and large works in ink, oil, sand, and wood ash on linen. The artist has poetically suggested the works are just “thin nets to catch the light,” indicative of his ambivalent relationship to the canvas.

Gladys Nilsson
Chicago-based Gladys Nilsson paints mostly female figures captured in states of unabashed reverie, their obstreperous bodies portrayed half-way between physical solidity and ectoplasmic ecstasy. Are they grotesque? They are certainly that, but not in any way we might normally think of when considering the term.
Objects USA
“Objects USA” showcases the work of 61 artists working in the craft tradition, expanding and updating a historic exhibition staged under the same title in 1969 at the Smithsonian. The new show argues for a coherence between successive generations of artists drawing a line that tells us “things changed after this happened.”
Shaghayegh Cyrous
In Shaghayegh Cyrous’ multimedia installation “Breathe the Sun” a vivid cast of characters perform ritualized movements in a wall-length video projection. This is an immersive, ritualistic space that acknowledges and bridges the physical and cultural distance between North America and her native Iran.
Stefan Kürten and Sarah M. Newton
Is it possible to be nostalgic about nostalgia itself? This question is explored by Stefan Kürten and Sarah M. Newton, both haunted by the forlornness of the now, thus undercutting if not outright mocking any aspiration for a utopian future.
Richard Sheehan
“Light Beneath,” draws together three decades of work highlighting Richard Sheehan’s longstanding focus on the urban landscape, particularly his two major sources of inspiration, roadway architecture and commercial signage.
Chris Dorosz
An old art-world joke defines sculpture as the thing you bump into from behind as you back away to better view a painting. The mixed-media wall sculptures of Chris Dorosz turn that trope on its head: to take in the entirety of these works you must get up close to these intricately crafted figures.
Yari Ostovany
From his Iranian roots, Yari Ostovany retained a love of poetic spiritual themes, among them the doomed flight of Icarus, brought low by hubris, and Attar of Nishabur’s epic 12th century Sufi poem, ”The Conference of the Birds.”
Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Christo and Jeanne-Claude, “Running Fence at 50 Years,” commemorates the monumental 1976 intervention in the Sonoma and Marin County landscape. It documents a moment when individual artists began making their own cultural structures rather than waiting for established institutions to give them permission.
Terri Friedman
Fiber affords Terri Friedman a meditative medium for processing the too-muchness of contemporary life, and even a place of joy and healing in which carefully planned shapes, colors and textures coalesce into llyrical, brightly colored dreamscapes.
