Luther Dickinson grew up just 40 miles south of Memphis, deep in the hill country of rural Mississippi. With his brother Cody, Luther is a charter member of the North Mississippi Allstars and has recorded with an amazing array of musicians over the years: Beck, Patty Griffin, Mavis Staples, John Hiatt, Buddy Miller, RL Burnside, Lucero, Jon Spencer, and Robert Plant.

Wang Dongling (b. 1945 in Rudong, Jiangsu Province) is currently Director of the Modern Calligraphy Study Center at the National Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou, China and is one of China’s foremost living calligraphers.

It was from the classical training he received under Lin that he acquired the confidence to experiment with ways in which the calligraphic stroke might be liberated from the simultaneous conveyance of meaning.

Opening Reception | Two Serious Ladies: Works by Peggy Ahwesh and Jennifer Montgomery


Over the years Peggy Ahwesh and Jennifer Montgomery’s individual practices have concerned similar inquiries into feminism, experimental filmmaking, genre, and cultural identity. Analogous to the two protagonists in Jane Bowles’ 1943 novel Two Serious Ladies, who each go off on personal odysseys and come back to philosophize about their experiences, Ahwesh and Montgomery inspire and reflect one another. This exhibition presents films that span a relationship of nearly 30 years in which the artists continue to return to each other in order to witness, contribute to, and perform in each other’s work.

Opening Reception | Paintings: Jennifer Louise Martin's The Absence of Presence


London-based visual artist Jennifer Louise Martin’s work provides commentary on the psychology behind an entire week dedicated to the fashion industry. Her most recent paintings in this collection displace the subject of interest in order to create a sense of detachment and ambiguity. The influence of prints and patterns from the 1960’s and 1970’s is also very evident through the inclusion of wallpaper, fabric prints, and magazine cuttings as both source material and collage additions in her pieces. The inclusion of the collage process provide insight to the underlying psychological process depicted through the materiality and language of paint.
