Exhibition | Featured After the Sun—Forecasts from the North Friday, April 26, 2024–Monday, August 19, 2024 After the Sun—Forecasts from the North surveys a generational response to the precarious state of our natural environment. Historically, art from the Nordic region has been closely tied to depictions of nature. It is no surprise, then, that a diverse group of artists with strong ties to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden question what it means to depict landscape today in a time of intensifying climate crisis. After the Sun considers how emergencies at a Northern latitude reverberate globally and asks what images are generated in response. Exhibition Before and After Again Friday, March 8, 2024–Monday, September 30, 2024 Before and After Again is an exhibition of artwork, prose, and poetry by the Buffalo-based artists and cultural producers Julia Bottoms, Tiffany Gaines, and Jillian Hanesworth. Their works respond to the tragic slaying of ten Buffalo residents on May 14, 2022, at the Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo, New York. Exhibition Sin Wai Kin: It’s Always You Friday, March 1, 2024–Monday, August 19, 2024 Sin Wai Kin's It’s Always You encourages viewers to reflect on the performance and commodification of identity in our present moment. It features a boyband of Sin’s construction in which they perform dressed up as each of the band’s four members—The Universe, The Storyteller, The One, and Wai King (a pun on the artist’s name). Exhibition Stanley Whitney: How High the Moon Friday, February 9, 2024–Sunday, May 26, 2024 This touring retrospective, the first survey of Stanley Whitney’s work ever assembled, demonstrates the full breadth of his innovative abstractions and the true power of his paintings to give their viewers space to feel what it means to be human, room to mentally wander, and to gather the strength to survive.
