Gran Silencio (Great Silence) – Raffa Chavez and Judith Johnson
Axis Gallery is proud to present Gran Silencio (Great Silence), a collaborative exhibition by artists Raffa Chavez and Judith Johnson.
Sup Foo – Vincent Pacheco
Vincent Pacheco explores ancestral memories through an installation of hand-made piñatas. As a third-generation Mexican-American caught between two worlds–an oppressed minority, and an upstanding citizen in white society– Pacheco uses this traditional craft to forge new cultural understanding. Artist reception will be held on July 9th from 6-9pm (Second Saturday)
Material Handling – John Criscitello, Anne Garvey, Esther Marie Hall, Laura Sanford, and Josh Short. Curated by Tavarus Blackmon
Work in this exhibit is comprised of rich painting and textile-based work, sound
sculptures and installations, drawing and three-dimensional installations. The artists in this exhibit all carry a material handling into the studio and this surmises the strength and power of their creations: that they be made of the hand.

Learning From Life Cycles – Dan Tran
Increasingly, transdisciplinary artists like Dan Tran are re-assessing their roles in the relationships between buildings, built environments, and the non-built ecosystems that provide the raw materials and energy that sustain them. Individually adopting greener studio practices and making material transitions are common responses to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, pollution and many other interwoven social and environmental injustices. Yet, artists are also innately poised to cultivate unorthodox research relationships that weave disciplines, data, experiences and cultures in projects which then weave broader audiences and deeper mutual understanding. In doing so, they fill the ever-increasing need for the diverse, complex collaborations required to confront the complexities of the climate crisis as well as the ever-increasing need for more effective science communication.
