Exhibition extended through February 26, 2021

Via Time in two directions we harmonize voices that respect tradition but dismantle hierarchy. We seek alliance with the universal continuum. We honor the sacred, bow to the trespassed, and acknowledge the unseen. We suggest connection.

Exhibition Dates: March 5 – May 29, 2021

Constanza Piaggio’s large format prints of solitary figures and pastoral scenes belong to the collection of work titled The Trap, executed just over a decade ago. Circumstance gives context to our eye, and today Piaggio’s work gains gravity. While these open-ended-narratives once spoke with a sly criticality of bourgeoise malaise unsubdued by distractions- societal traps (of dinner-parties, fancy toys, or the time-honored tradition of the rich hunting small animals for ‘sport’), today ring more true. They still speak to discontent, loneliness, and introversion, but now do so in a moment simplified by the acknowledgement of us all that that things don’t create happiness, people do. As we write the subtext of these discontented characters (or our own narratives) anew, we discover a glimmer of courage in the invitation of action. In recognizing our own traps, we can yet evade them. These works nudge impetus in their unraveling of “idealism” and offer an escape- a remembrance for gratitude and hope for a rebirth of humanitarianism via our own individual gestures and actions.
