SUMMARY:Papi León and Friends Exhibition Reception & Artist Talk

For Papi León and Friends\, Artist in Residence Marie Alarcón worked with local artists\, through a series of community workshops on the construction of “diasporic deities.”These deities act as placeholders for the diasporic and their lost links to ancestors. The work in this show reflects the process of creating space for these deities in their various forms. Alarcón’s deity\, Papi León\, is part pirate\, part cannibal\, and part zombie\, an artifact of the three nationalities in Alarcon’s Filipino\, Puerto Rican\, and Haitian ancestry. Viewers can also watch Alarcón’s Apocalypso\, a film made between New Mexico and Puerto Rico. \nFeatured Artists from the Diasporic Deities Workshop:\nMarisol Driovínto\, Christina Yovovich\, Loki-Anthony Honey and Lena Ilene Weiss.

SUMMARY:COLLIN BRADFORD - EVERY ROCK IS A CLOUD
DESCRIPTION:Material is pleased to present Every Rock is a Cloud\, a solo exhibition by Utah-based artist Collin Bradford\, on view October 24 through November 20\, 2026. \nWorking across video\, photography\, sculpture\, drawing\, and other forms\, Collin Bradford has developed a practice centered on how we understand and relate to the land we inhabit. Every Rock is a Cloud considers land and our human experience within it\, through the expansive scale of geologic time. The exhibition grew in part from Bradford’s move from the Great Lakes region to Utah\, where the exposed geology of the surrounding landscape prompted him to think differently about permanence\, transformation\, and the ways human experience intersects with much longer processes of geological change. \nThroughout the exhibition\, Bradford shifts between human and geologic scales to challenge our perception of landscape as fixed or permanent. Rocks and clouds emerge as temporary arrangements of matter operating at radically different speeds. At the same time\, transparent colored forms alter familiar views of the land and draw attention to ongoing geologic activity. Through close observation and subtle interventions\, Every Rock is a Cloud invites viewers to consider matter’s continual movement and the fleeting nature of forms that can appear permanent and unchanging. \nImage: Collin Bradford\, Cloud of Points\, 16 x 16 inches\, plastic\, pigmented epoxy\, fluorite-rich soil and rock from near Spor Mountain\, UT. 2026  \nOPENING RECEPTION\nSaturday\, October 24 · 6–9 PM \nCLOSING RECEPTION & ARTIST TALK\nFriday\, November 20\nArtist Talk · 5:30 PM\nClosing Reception · 6–8 PM \nGallery Hours: During events and by appointment.
