In the gallery setting up with visiting artist Gracelee Lawrence for her show: SATURATED DATA ORACLES, which focuses on labor centered in the hand - agricultural, technical, and digital - through sculptures that entwine manipulated 3D scans of the artist’s body with complex surface information into complex objects. Across copper, resin, and 3D-printed forms, the work leverages the errors, gaps, and distortions that emerge as physical bodies and tactile labor are translated through digital processes.

The show opens Wednesday, October 14 and continues through December 7, please join us at the opening reception 10/14 from 5-6:30PM 😎

Today is the last day of Carla Liesching’s show: “is laughter ever carried to such an extreme as to bring tears in your eyes?”

We are open today, Saturday 10/3 from 10AM until 5 PM. Ithaca College is located at 953 Danby rd, the Handwerker is in Gannett Ctr, stop out and see this great show if you can!

Is laughter ever carried to such an extreme as to bring tears into your eyes? weaves together fragments of image and text from two disparate yet connected archival sources, employing photo-collage, erasure poetry, and installation to unsettle, intervene, and disrupt the narratives embedded within them. Responding to the urgency of our moment in which dominant versions of “history” have had and continue to have substantive and combustible consequences, the exhibition strategically resists stable or singular stories, instead foregrounding ways of historicizing that are incomplete, contested, contingent, and in continuous negotiation.

Carla Liesching (b. 1985, South Africa) also invites to the gallery a series of sculptural activations created with Igor Arume (b. 1991, Brazil) and Sam Margevicius (b. 1989, USA), as well as three large-scale site-specific murals produced in collaboration with Carla Rangel García (b. 1990, Mexico).
