Thursday, August 7, 2025, at 5:30 pm Tom Schram’s work repurposes post-consumer materials, intentionally avoiding new, raw resources. He limits himself to using only what has serendipitously come into his life—a practice that fuels his ongoing exploration of material histories and the cycles of consumption and waste. Join us in the South Gallery for an artist talk that delves into these themes and Schram’s unique process. |

Join us Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 5:30 PM for the release of Boo Who, our ninth annual limited-edition print by Victoria Dugger. This 5-color screen print, produced at Two Parts Press, is an edition of 50 and will be available for $100 plus tax. Boo Who explores themes of girlhood, spectacle, and the quiet grief of feeling unseen — capturing Dugger’s signature blend of humor and vulnerability. The release coincides with Dugger’s artist talk, where she’ll speak about her exhibition Peach Fuzz. Drawing from Southern domestic iconography, her work plays with body horror, humor, and excess — challenging ideas of beauty, deformity, and survival, and reclaiming space for bodies often overlooked or misunderstood. |

July 18, 2025 - September 27, 2025 Lobby Case Our bodies and experiences are deeply intertwined with those of other creatures. I explore the profound connection between the human and non-human through drawings, paintings, sculptures, writing, animation, and more. Inspired by memories and the literature of Latin America, my art transforms historical and geographical contexts into the realm of imagination, speculation, and reinvention. - María Korol María will give an artist talk on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at 5:30 PM. |

June 5, 2025 - August 30, 2025 Lower Atrium Rooted in the American South, Mohs' work explores the tension between resilience and vulnerability, shaped by a life of chronic illness and an organ transplant. As an artist and mother, she moves between the physicality of materials and the fragility of the body, reflecting on survival, care, and kinship. She is drawn to the landscape and traditions of the South, where storytelling and craft carry histories of both struggle and grace. Mohs' practice investigates the body as both structure and shelter, likened to architecture and foundation, where puzzled pieces are sewn, bound, and mended together. She minimizes and abstracts body parts, distilling them to their bare essentials to reveal the intricate mechanisms and symbiotic connections between skeleton and skin, spirit and flesh, organs and cavities. The interplay of structural forms and narrative inquiry manifests in organically shaped wooden objects that hold memory, honor the body, and invite connection. Photo Credit: Matt Ramey |

June 5, 2025 - August 30, 2025 West Gallery Victoria Dugger's work explores identity, disability, and Southern heritage through a reimagined Southern Gothic lens. As a disabled Black woman, she navigates themes of isolation, desire, and visibility, blending vulnerability, beauty, and the grotesque. Her figures--exaggerated, anthropomorphic stand-ins for her own body--are adorned with pearls, frosting, and glitter, merging opulence with decay. Drawing from Southern domestic iconography, Dugger's work plays with body horror, humor, and excess, challenging ideas of beauty, deformity, and survival. She reflects on the complexities of girlhood and femininity, reclaiming space for bodies often overlooked or misunderstood. Victoria will give an artist talk alongside her limited-edition print release on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 5:30 PM. |

June 5, 2025 - August, 30, 2025 Upper Atrium Yanira Vissepó’s textile paintings are centered around gradient linocuts of native plants and the natural terrain of both her birthplace in the Caribbean Sea and her adopted home in the American South. She uses methods such as stain painting, linoleum cut-outs, and hand embroidery on canvas to portray the rich biodiversity and resilience of botanicals endemic to both Puerto Rico and Tennessee. Through these techniques, she examined the connectivity of plants across these regions, merging flora native to both lands while researching their holistic properties. In doing so, she weaves her own healing process into the diasporic experience. |

June 5, 2025 – August 30, 2025 Upper Atrium The photography exhibition Thaw Line centers the natural world—both in its intimate details and expansive landscapes—and humanity’s shifting relationship with it. In Josh Skinner’s black-and-white images, the human presence is always felt, even when physically absent: an empty deer stand, an abandoned construction site, ghostly trailers nestled in the woods. These are quiet traces of how we’ve imprinted ourselves onto the land. And yet, while we may play upon the earth and one day be buried beneath it, the images ask whether we are ever truly of it. Lindsey Kennedy’s photographs, rendered in a subtly muted yet richly textured palette, capture the elemental power of nature—blazing fire, crystalline waterfalls frozen mid-cascade, the relentless spread of invasive plant life. Her work quietly reflects on the delicate balance between destruction and beauty. It’s unclear whether we’ll be overtaken by nature’s grandeur, absorbed into its quiet splendor, or remain the catalyst of its unraveling. |

June 5, 2025 - August 30, 2025 South Gallery The work in Schram’s exhibition primarily uses post-consumer materials in place of raw new materials. He sees these used materials as having come to the end of their human-intended functional lifecycle. As they cross his path, and before entombment in a landfill, he collects them. This strategy demands innovation and planning due to scarcity. Schram commits to using only the amount of a certain material that has serendipitously come into his life. This practice has fostered a long interest and investigation into a material’s history and various lives, most recently leading to a focus on how we, as a society, consume and what we waste, investigating the industrial processes that reshape natural resources into modern consumables, as well as the general perception of these consumables as carrying little to no cost. Tom will give an artist talk alongside his work on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at 5:30 PM. |

June 5, 2025 - August 30, 2025 Atrium Cases Barbara Mann is captivated by the intricate complexity and beauty of the natural world. Her ongoing body of work delves into the origins of life on Earth, the process of evolution, and the carbon cycle. As a jeweler and metalsmith, she has a deep fascination with materials and the methods used to transform them. Inspired by groundbreaking scientific discoveries and emerging technologies, Mann is driven by the evolving ways we understand and perceive life on Earth. To bring order to the complexity and chaos of nature, she crafts objects that serve as distilled, metaphorical expressions of both observation and thought. |

July 3, 2025 - October 11, 2025 Lukasiewicz Gallery Chris Moss and Sue Fox had never met before the opening of this exhibition, living in different geographical states and with no obvious personal connections. Yet their works share a striking formal kinship: a distinct palette and careful division of the picture plane, though they arrive at it through different means and with different objectives. Despite their separate paths, both artists build visual languages that are deeply personal, process-driven, and charged with emotional depth. Together, Moss and Fox offer parallel explorations of form and color, playing with the viewer’s perception, concealing and revealing forms of common imagery amongst a camouflage of multifaceted hues. Their works provide a journey through abstracted terrains and complex emotional landscapes, charted with devotion and care. |
