Groundwork: Sarah Clough and Erin Barach at make Studio, November 4-27
Groundwork is a two-person exhibition by Sarah Clough and Erin Barach at make Studio in Baltimore. Through very different approaches, both artists make work about the fundamental connotations of physical sensation. Visitors are invited to question the boundaries of their optic and haptic experiences through participation and contemplation. The artists explore the concept of what is happening "below the surface", interpreted through refracted light, semiotics, layered textures, or the ground on which we stand.
During First Fridays in Hampden on November 4th, there will be an opening reception from 6-8PM with sound/musical performances following 8-10PM including Brooklyn based There Are No Thieves in This Town. There will also be deicious food from The Arthouse!

Ortega y Gasset Projects, 363 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Ortega y Gasset Projects is pleased to host The Gaps Between Us, an exhibition of work by MICA Low-Residency MFA candidates Damon Arhos, Sarah Clough Chambers, Suzy Kopf, and Kirk Daniel Palmer. The exhibition runs from Friday, August 21 to Sunday August 30. There will be a reception for the artists on Friday, August 21, 6-8pm. The exhibition will be open for viewing on Saturdays and Sundays 1-6pm or by appointment.
Working from traditions of painting, the artists in this show use the formats of painting to explore a diverse range of themes related to contemporary American culture. These include leisure culture, personal histories, queer identity, and the nature of perception. A unifying theme of the work is the relationship to traditional approaches to painting, while simultaneously pushing the limits if the medium's scale and material presence. Perhaps most importantly, personal friendship unifies this group of individuals, each of whom occupies a different age bracket and each of whom have a unique biography. Their identity as a group speaks to the potential for visual art to diminish separateness and create new paths of communication among individuals who are otherwise quite different from one another.
This exhibition is organized by Ortega y Gasset member Eric Hibit.

"Sarah Clough sprays, cuts, and ripples sheets of cardboard into haunting insect-like masks. Sutton Demlong interlocks wood beams most likely from a Baltimore row house; the beams cradle but threaten to pop a giant balloon.."
