LOVER
Hope you're well with spirits lifting to the arrival of spring ~ I'm very excited to announce the opening of LOVER, an installation of new video works by Leah Piepgras, which I am deeply honored to be curating at No Call, No Show gallery ~ through the kindness of the one and only, Andy Li.
Leah is a force to be reckoned with; brave to create such vital, vulnerable, and healing works that transcend the darkness of cancer recovery with unimaginable light.
When: We'll be having an opening screening on Saturday, March 29th from 3 - 6pm, and again on March 30th. Then, appointments will be available through mid-April ~
Where: No Call, No Show is located on the 3rd floor of the Distillery building in South Boston: 516 E 2nd St, #307, Boston, MA.
Here are a few words / images introducing the show:
LOVER is a video, sound, and sculpture installation introducing emergent works by Leah Piepgras. Moving towards “a new mythology for restoration and healing”, the show invokes reverence for nature in response to recovery processes, embodied sensory experiences, and the poetics of erotic love. In LOVER, Piepgras deepens her connection to sunlight, a source which tethers us to the cosmos and grants our survival. Studied scientifically as both particle and wave, light presents dualities that pass through us, calling into question our physical being. LOVER’s hypnotic video projections echo this quality. As particles dance, humans entwine, sprawl, and reach, and a wanderer treads barefoot through streams, each body exists doubly as a touchable form and as mere light. ++
