Please join us at STORAGE SPACE 121 E. 34th St. on 6/26• 6p-10p for “Patterns As Proof: A Mid Life” by Jannell Summers “From the artist:

At some point, one’s age is what finally happened. You are living who you are (if you’re lucky). You have the information of over half a life to parse the patterns. How will you do it, if you choose to look?

This is what I’ve been exploring in this body of work.

Expect to see: material collages, mixed media, and sacred ephemera woven, painted, assembled, and destroyed.

Expect to see patterns that promise nothing new but leave room for possibility - room for proof.

I am a self-taught artist, DJ, and musician residing in Indianapolis. Liberation for all is my guiding principle. I have recently realized that liberation within myself is necessary before I can affect real change. That is why I make art.

Thank you in advance for checking it out.”

The Artists Race Team is attempting to continue the racing season. The Next Race is August 1st. While the 1st race was a community and creative masterpiece success, it came with a high cost. The race car died that day. We are on the hunt for funds to procure a new race car. If you are an individual or establishment that expressed interest in getting in on the next race event and helping with funding, now is the time. If you donate to this art project through Storage Space it is also considered tax deductible. So write it off on your taxes and become an arts philanthropist by helping this art program continue. Storage Space has a venmo, label donations for Art Car or some kind of identification, so we know that you want your funds to support the arts in this special project.

Please join us at STORAGE SPACE 121 E. 34th St. for “Botanical Bodies” by Nasreen Khan & Rachel Schwebach on Friday 6/26 • 6p-10p Botanical Bodies features woodburnings by Nasreen Khan and photographs by Rachel Schwebach. A collaborative ethnography with fellow s*x workers, the exhibition brings together visual work and audio recordings from participant interviews. Together, these pieces explore the long history of linking women and plants—two subjects often romanticized, controlled, and exploited under patriarchal capitalist systems—and reclaim that connection on new terms.

During the Enlightenment, botany was surprisingly charged with s*xual meaning. Carl Linnaeus’s system for classifying plants focused on their reproductive parts, using language so suggestive that some people considered botanical study improper. Later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, botany became one of the few sciences women were encouraged to pursue because it was seen as gentle, beautiful, and appropriate to the home. But that access came with limits: many of the plants women studied arrived through colonial trade, while Indigenous plant knowledge was ignored or erased.
Class shaped this story too. For wealthy women, flowers could represent education, leisure, and taste. For poor and working-class women, they were often tied to survival. Selling flowers in the street was one of the few jobs available, yet it was deeply moralized—day sellers were praised as respectable, while night sellers were often assumed to be s*x workers. Botanical Bodies returns to this history to ask who gets to be admired, who gets to labor, and who gets to define the meaning of women’s bodies today.

Thank you to 100+ or so people that came out to cheer us on. So many artists kept texting images all evening from different parts of the track. I didn’t realize all those who would be attending. It was an amazing experience. I love our art community. We lift each other and help each other. We will be back to race again next time with more art, stay tuned for details! Feel free to pass this along to philanthropists, seriously we need program funding and the past grant funding system doesn’t work for us. I swing a hammer to pay the bills and make art happen, i do not have enough time or skill sets to be a grant writer that is good enough to get the grants. But, damn it, you can’t tell me we aren’t putting in the work. It’s passion and love for the art and artists. Gatekeepers stop making artists be things they are not, a vibrant city is one growing with economic activity because artists are allowed to be creative. Don’t put road blocks in the way of artists, help them out and you will help yourselves out i promise.
