A Confluence of coastal creativity @ Albertz Benda x Mindy Solomon

Mindy Solomon is excited to announce an exhibition in collaboration with albertz benda, Los Angeles. Drawing from the gallery roster as well as several invited artists from the Los Angeles area, Solomon has chosen a colorful array of dynamic works that express the energy and vision of the Miami gallery.
Featuring a number of diverse voices, from the vibrant worlds of Super Future Kid’s paintings to the monochromatic, textural surfaces of Donté Hayes’ ceramics, this exhibition draws from Solomon’s gallery roster as well as several invited artists from the Los Angeles area. California sculptors David Hicks and Jay Kvapil, long-time artists with Mindy Solomon Gallery, will be presented in cooperation with Diane Rosentstein Gallery. LA-based artists Adam Miller and Brittany Mojo have produced works specifically for the exhibition.
Finding a curatorial thread among a diverse group of artists is an exciting challenge. Graphic imagery and bold stories are the governing language. Building community with like-minded artists, gallerists and collectors is an essential element in the ongoing growth of the gallery. As Solomon has stated: “The gallery program explores the intersection of art and design through an ongoing dialog between two and three-dimensional objects, while embracing diasporic voices. Building community has always been of the utmost importance”.
Mundus Inversus @ Red Arrow Gallery
May 7 - May 29, 2022
RED ARROW GALLERY, 919 GALLATIN AVE SUITE #4, NASHVILLE, TN 37206
Emily Weiner. Kimia Ferdowski Kline, Linda Lopez, Sara Mejia and Donte Hayes
Mundus Inversus:Any act of expressive behavior which inverts, contradicts, abrogates, or in some fashion presents an alternative to commonly held cultural codes, values, and norms—be they linguistic, literary, or artistic, religious or social and political.
_Barbara Babcock, The Reversible World: Symbolic Inversion in Art and Society, 1978
Mundane: of or relating to the world, universe, or earth
Mundus Inversus brings together sculpture, paintings, and installation by five America-based artists working in varied media. Ranging also in shape and size, the pieces on view share the common balancing act of merging—and subverting—dominant ideas of material value and symbolic form in the history of art and human culture. Employing conventionally modest mediums (such as clay, wood, and aluminum), while formally evoking the miraculous or monumental, these artists embrace the mundane as a means of elevating personal and collective histories. The themes embodied in these pieces vary widely and derive from diverse perspectives, individually and collectively imparting the message that other stories are possible through handmade visual expression.
This exhibition was organized by Emily Weiner at Red Arrow Gallery, with support from a Tri Star Arts 2021 Current Art Fund grant.

Crafting America Exhibition @ Crystal Bridges
February 6 - May 31, 2021
crystalbridges.org/exhibitions/crafting-america/
Crafting America, a new exhibition developed by Crystal Bridges, celebrates the skill and individuality of craft within the broad context of American art. From jewelry to furniture to sculptures and more, this exhibition is dazzling and full of surprises.
Featuring over 100 works in ceramics, fiber, wood, metal, glass, and more unexpected materials, Crafting America presents a diverse and inclusive story of American craft from the 1940s to today, highlighting the work of artists such as Ruth Asawa, Peter Voulkos, Jeffrey Gibson, Sonya Clark, and more. Craft has long been a realm accessible to the broadest range of individuals, providing an opportunity to explore personal creativity, innovation, and technical skill. This exhibition foregrounds varied backgrounds and perspectives in craft, from the vital contributions of Indigenous artists to the new skills and points of view brought by immigrants to the United States.
Developed by Jen Padgett, associate curator at Crystal Bridges, and Glenn Adamson, guest curator and scholar of craft, design history, and contemporary art, Crafting America asserts craft’s integral role in expanding the story of American art and is accompanied by a major multi-author illustrated publication published by Crystal Bridges and the University of Arkansas Press.
Crafting America has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.

The essential goods show @ Fisher Parrish gallery
June 26 - August 30, 2020 (Online only)
Fisher Parrish Gallery, Brooklyn, NY
Fisher Parrish Gallery is incredibly proud to present The Essential Goods Show. When we asked 80 artists at the start of lockdown to make an object they deemed to be essential - a word that had become so common and such a determining factor in our productivity, our businesses and the way we conducted our everyday lives - we were feeling fear, isolation, anxiety, sickness and a desire to promote personal well being. Within these three months we have grown furious, frustrated, discontent, tired, and are now taking up action together like never before. Some objects here are beautifully simple meditations on form and function, some are personal and sentimental, and others are powerfully political. All of them, in one way or another, are fascinating artifacts of a bizarre and unprecedented time.
20% of the proceeds of this exhibition will go to the the NAACP Legal Defense Fund - an organization we feel can make actionable change towards defunding the police and ending racism and police brutality.

ghost hands @ Mindy Solomon Gallery
September 24 - October 22, 2016
Ghost Hands explores the persistent presence of the absent. These observations of indefinable moments reflect not the beginning or the end of a relationship, but the abstracted instance of connectivity. These pieces search for the unseen thread that connects people and things that once shared an intangible moment. In this realm, logic is lost, objects are personified, perception is ever-changing, and things become their true selves.

Ghost Collaborators @ Ox-Bow School of Art
A two week course with Linda Lopez and Mathew McConnell.
July 17-30, 2016
We are all under the sway of many collaborators—some are acknowledged, but most are not. In this two-week course, we will attempt to identify the ways in which we have been influenced by our ghost collaborators and how we can take more accountability for those collaborations. Studio assignments will focus on extracting influences from the work you have produced in the past. Once apprehended, you will be asked to minimize or amplify those influences in new work. The course will also include readings, discussions, and short technical demonstrations—including open-form building with coils using fiber clay, fabricating models for splash molds from simple materials, and using casting slip in combination with press-molding techniques.
