Housekeeping – Doug Dertinger

無知爲用 (Good of Nothing) – Muzi Li Rowe
Rowe is creating a series of Chinese knots, an ancient form of folk art that is typically made with fabric cords and is displayed as festive decoration. Using defunct cables such as ethernet cables, phone charging cables and wired headphones, she is transforming these discarded materials into hand knotted forms with the technique of a traditional Chinese craft.
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?
Desire Paths – Marie Thibeault and Patrick Brien
Axis Gallery is pleased to present Desire Paths, a two-person exhibition of contemporary paintings by Marie Thibeault & Patrick Brien, curated by Mirabel Wigon. These works examine abstracted notions of the landscape in response to the artists’ regions and lived experiences, both seen and unseen.
Thresholds – Raquel Mullins | Victoria Sauer | Joanne Tepper Saffren | Carrie Ziser | Rachael Zur

Sifting through items inherited or foraged from the domestic sphere draws attention to issues of labor, equity, gender, domestic tensions, and also how people care for those closest to them and pay loving homage to those no longer present. Artists Raquel Mullins, Victoria Sauer, Joanne Tepper Saffren, Carrie Ziser, and Rachael Zur work in varied scale and artistic media, but notions of home are the point in which they connect.

Cementation/Dissolution – Mirabel Wigon
Cementation/Dissolution is a solo exhibition of landscape paintings by Mirabel Wigon. These paintings are inspired by her immediate surroundings and explore experience, immersion, and separation within the built and natural environment. The paintings acknowledge infrastructure instability and ecological degradation as dire existential threats, emphasizing the flawed modernist narrative of progress and innovation.
