Galleri Urbane will present their 11th annual summer group show, "Roll the Windows Down," which focuses on textile art, highlighting five artists, including Cassie Arnold, Cristina Ayala, Nosheen Iqbal, Heath West, and Marlon Wobst. The selection of artists are actively engaged in avant-garde approaches to explore commentary on the fundamental aspects of civilization, art, and the artists’ unique experiences with their material.
"Roll the Windows Down" is an allusion to the overwhelming and sometimes uneasy sensations that emerge when nostalgia washes over. Nostalgia comes on like a wave, instantly transporting the afflicted to a time and place that only exists in our singular perspective. This transient state is a feeling of overwhelming emotion cascading us with a story now past, immortalized only in our memories. Textiles inherently relate to the cultural contexts they have ingrained within, and those contexts are then able to be reworked. The fibers explore place, identity, and childhood echoes through the physical process of coming into being, and the histories entrenched within creating works of art.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through August 9.
