SUMMARY:Opening Reception: LAMP group exhibition
DESCRIPTION:LAMP is a group exhibition rooted in practices of accumulation and adornment. Primarily sculptural\, the works span ceramic\, papier-mâché\, textiles\, and found objects—materials that carry the marks of touch\, use\, and return. The exhibition draws inspiration from the fantastical potential of a bookshelf alcove crowded with knickknacks\, and from the push and pull of a warm light bulb: how it reveals the texture of its shade while allowing everything beyond its beam to slip into shadow. LAMP lingers in this tension—between illumination and obscurity\, excess and intimacy—asking what it means to look again at what we already have. At its core\, LAMP is about making a home. Home here is not fixed\, but a space of continual return. Each return brings something new: an object\, a gesture\, a layer. Through acts of adornment\, familiar things are re-seen and re-translated. Function is rendered implicit; materiality\, charm\, and care emerges energetically. Participating artists include Caroline Perkison\, Emma Rossoff\, Gabrielle Constantine\, Jamie Lerman\, Julia Kunze\, and Magdalena Jarkowiec.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Two Faced. Three Faced. Four Faced. Five.
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Art Salon (formerly Lydia Street Gallery) presents “Two Faced. Three Faced. Four Faced. Five.” Billie Clarke\, Samir Faris\, Karim B. Hamid\, Monika Hardy\, William P. \nImmer April 3-May 17\, 2026 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, April 3rd\, 6-9 pm \ntwo faced. three faced. four faced. five.\n“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose\nBy any other word would smell as sweet.\nSo Romeo would\, were he not Romeo called\,\nRetain that dear perfection which he owes\nWithout that title. Romeo\, doff thy name\,\nAnd\, for thy name\, which is no part of thee\,\nTake all myself.” William Shakespeare / Romeo & Juliet\, Act 2\, scene 2 / circa 1595 \nIn the famous Shakespearean play ‘Romeo & Juliet’\, Juliet is not allowed to associate with Romeo because he is a Montague. If he had any other name it would be fine. But\, he doesn’t. She’s complaining that his name is meaningless. If the rose had any other name it would still be the same. So with Romeo; he would still be the same beautiful young man even if he had a different name. So\, as Juliet says: What IS in a name? Why is it so important to have a name? What do we associate with a name? Name’s are commonly known as associators. They are a way in which we\, as humans\, can define someone as other. Therefore\, we can determine a lot through a name. Of course\, we can associate it. But\, we can also control an identity to a certain extent. We can limit. We can arrange our thoughts and actions. We can also restrict ourselves. Why is it so important that we limit ourselves to a single name or identity? What is it about us that we allow ourselves to restrict ourselves to one identity?
