“Cornucopia” is an open-themed, all-members exhibition designed to bring together our gallery community in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. The show invites us to share a single work with one another in a casual and collaborative setting.
Warning, Watch, Advisory – Summer Ventis
The works in this exhibition address the uncertainty of our surroundings and how we as humans try to protect ourselves from that uncertainty.
ground water/sky water – Summer Ventis
The works in this exhibition are a meditation on cycles of flooding and drought, surfeit and lack. Each extreme is disastrous in its own way. The ways in which our actions have endangered the landscape now endanger us. These climatic shifts can also stand in for other vacillations; in politics, institutions, and ourselves. When the world seems upside-down, how do we contend with the weather we make?
Alternative Greetings – Summer Ventis
Alternative Greetings reflects on the ways in which we have become connected and disconnected during the past two years. This show presents the collaborative projects “Alternative Greetings/Alternative Meetings” and “Heavier than Air” alongside new printed works. How can we successfully connect during and after the pandemic? How can we share the weight of our collective grief?
Summer Ventis – Held Breaths
The last year and a half has been one long held breath; a time of caution, of waiting, of restraint, of restriction and withdrawal. It has brought new hardships and magnified existing ones, but it has also forced us to find new ways to connect. The works in this exhibition are a meditation on the times in which we find ourselves. They are a way of externalizing and processing the tension and fear with which we live, and also a celebration of new forms of connection and communication that have emerged as a result of our separation from each other. I offer my held breath to you; I offer to hold your breath for a moment so that you might find a better way to breathe.
Summer Ventis – There is still a ground. There is still a sky.
So much is uncertain. We find ourselves at a boundary, in a margin, on a cusp. The space between the sky and ground, between before and after, between self and other is a space both terrifying and full of possibilities. The works in this exhibition exist in the space between. They engage the dystopian present and ask what possibilities it holds for a more hopeful future. There is still a ground. There is still a sky.
Containment – Summer Ventis
Axis is proud to present “Containment,” a solo exhibition by Summer Ventis. In the city, we often feel distant from the landscape. The natural world, however, asserts itself in spite of—and sometimes through—the ways in which we try to contain … Continued
