TRASA's Visual and Performance Art Program presents: we are woven: a collaborative installation
by Gallery
Stroll Public Opening: Holiday Gallery Stroll Reception, December 1, 6-9pm Closing Reception, December 8, 8pm, $5 Installation open by appointment: 801.450.8977 "I hear a story in the air, a myth we are unveiling: a myth of our selves, a myth of our unity, of how we are woven."
The first of six exhibits presented by Guest Curator Kenny Riches
of Kayo Gallery, We Are Woven presents four artists at
the threshold of womanhood. Unearthing childhood scars, regaining
strength in softness, and uncovering new identities, this mixed-media
installation reveals a coming-of-age reconnection to hidden threads
of sisterhood and humanity. During Kayo’s two years of operation, Kenny’s curatorial style was hailed as “brilliant and well-executed” (15 Bytes Magazine), earning him awards such as Best D.I.Y. Gallery (City Weekly, 2005), and Best Big-City Gallery in a Small Town (City Weekly, 2006). “Supporting young, emerging artists is a challenge for galleries, but it’s a vital part of any thriving art community,” said Kristina Robb, TRASA urban arts collective's Executive Director. “Salt Lake suffered a great loss with the recent closing of both the Unknown and Kayo Galleries. We believe that Kenny’s presence at the Pickle Company will help fill that gap.” |
A
collaboration between Jenni Lord, Allison Baar, Sherri Pauli, and
Möey Nelson, We Are Woven offers a deeply personal
look into beauty, nostalgia, and self-discovery.
