SUMMARY:Curator Talk: Lucid Perturbations: The Sewn Drawings and Books of China Marks
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 16\, 2026\, from 2–3 p.m. for a curator talk about Lucid Perturbations and the sewn works of China Marks\, featuring gallery director Carina Evangelista and longtime friend of China Marks\, Pamela Matsuda-Dunn\, also an artist. Evangelista and Matsuda-Dunn will lead us through Marks’s unorthodox sewn multiverse of allegory\, dark humor\, and wit\, offering insights into what possessed Marks to produce\, with singular focus\, over 600 sewn tableaux in the last twenty-three years of her art practice. \nEvangelista and Matsuda-Dunn will also share how Lucid Perturbations came to be; the artists’ cache of references for the largely allegorical works; and the process behind the artist’s sewn oeuvre. A rare opportunity to gain insight into the world of an unsung artist’s life and practice\, this conversation accompanies China Marks’s largest solo exhibition.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Lucid Perturbations: The Sewn Drawings and Books of China Marks Part Two
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 15 May 2026 from 5 to 7 p.m. for part two of the opening reception of Lucid Perturbations: The Sewn Drawings and Books of China Marks\, an exhibition of over 200 sewn tableaux by China Marks. Featuring a total of 147 yards of fabric\, a length nearly one and a half times the height of the Statue of Liberty\, this monographic exhibition is installed in the gallery’s 5\,000 square feet of exhibition space\, weaving a tapestry that records a quarter century of an unsung artist’s singular vision and consuming passion for drawing with the sewn line. \nAlthough once lauded by The New York Times arts writer Grace Glueck for the bravura of her avant-garde sewn work\, Marks has remained largely under the radar. Lucid Perturbations presents to the public\, for the first time\, the broadest survey of the psychological nooks and crevices of Marks’s sewn multiverse in all of its dark humor\, aporia\, and wit.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Janet Abrams
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk with Janet Abrams\, Cranbrook Academy of Art alumna and renowned art\, architecture and design critic\, in connection with her debut solo exhibition\, Balancing Acts. Abrams will discuss becoming an artist in midlife; the art historical lineage of her sculptures; her explorations of gravity\, light\, and precariousness; and the interplay between the organic and the scientific in her methods and processes. Abrams looks toward the handmade\, the tactile\, and the physical as means of recuperation and reconnection\, in an era of increasing digital dissociation.
