MARTHA JACKSON JARVIS: What The Trees Have Seen II
17 October - 30 November 2024
Following a successful solo exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art, Martha Jackson Jarvis (b.1952) has made a selection of those works to feature in her first exhibition with the Gallery. Here, Jarvis bears witness to her great-great-great grandfather's experience as a free Black militia man during the American Revolutionary War. In her large-scale abstract paintings, she tracks his physical and psychological journey through various landscapes, both foreign and familiar, embedding the work with deep-seated memories of time and place. Jarvis’ practice spans decades and media, ranging from large-scale sculpture and public art installations to works on paper.
THE ADAA ART SHOW
30 October - 2 November 2024
Susan Inglett Gallery will present select works by Martha Jackson Jarvis at this year's Art Show, in tandem with her first exhibition at the Gallery. At the intersection of communal tradition, feminine history, and ecological responsibility, Martha Jackson Jarvis reaches across natural networks and cultural connections to underscore the importance of relationships: the ones we build within ourselves, our communities, and our environments.
THE BOYS CLUB
5 December 2024 - 25 January 2025
The noise of headlines, big print, and imagery has led to an exhaustion of mass media. Sinking ever deeper into the Information Age, archetypal representations of sex, drugs, fame, and wealth are used by capital-driven machines to titillate and extort the masses. Generation Z was the catalyst for a mass withdrawal from the mainstream, co-opting the strategies of fiercely gatekept subcultures and niche networks. THE BOYS CLUB, curated by Cortney Connolly, brings together female and queer artists of various generations and disciplines to subvert Pop Art-as-methodology, interrogate power systems bolstered by mass communication, and reclaim sexuality and subcultural identity.
SAYA WOOLFALK
6 February - 15 March 2025
Saya Woolfalk creates works of art that incorporate the African American, European American, and Japanese influences of her family background. Alluding to science fiction, feminist theory, mythology, anthropology, archaeology, Eastern religion, and fashion, she re-imagines a utopian, empathic world through works created in a wide range of mediums. The exhibition, presented in collaboration with Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects, anticipates a full-scale retrospective of Woolfalk’s work, opening at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York on 12 April 2025.
MAREN HASSINGER
20 March - 26 April 2025
Maren Hassinger (b. 1947) has built an expansive practice that articulates the relationship between nature and humanity. Carefully choosing materials for their innate characteristics, Hassinger has explored the subjects of movement, family, love, nature, environment, consumerism, identity, and race. Hassinger uses sculpture, film, dance, performance art, and public art to investigate the relationship between the natural world and industrial materials. Later this year, Hassinger and her longtime friend and performance partner, Senga Nengudi, will be celebrated with an exhibition at the Instituto Valenciano d'Art Modern followed by a major solo survey exhibition and catalog at the Berkeley Art Museum in 2026.
HOPE GANGLOFF
1 May - 7 June 2025
Hope Gangloff (b. 1974) paints vibrant landscapes and intimate portraits that depict various, everyday moments, charging the seemingly mundane with a bright and saturated palette. Commonplace activities become tenderly captured moments, something quotidian immortalized as something extraordinary.
GREG SMITH
13 June - 26 July
Greg Smith (b. 1970) stages exhibitions that consider the possibilities and problems presented by our current technological deluge. He builds installations using an amalgam of unlikely materials and processes that trace contemporary limits of language, ownership, and governance. Through his enigmatic work, the artist delivers coded messages that reward the attentive viewer.
