July 9 through August 29
Opening Reception: Friday, July 9, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Artists Noah Breuer, Alexandra Knox and Manda Remmen all look at the issues lurking behind capitalism —labor, ownership and consumerism — from different points of view. Breuer delves into family members lost in the Holocaust — who ran a textile-printing business, Carl Breuer and Sons, until Nazis took it away from them in 1939 — through the reproduction of textile designs from the C, B & S archives; Knox addresses the hardships of child-rearing with “Stockpile,” a sculpture of plaster milk bags, and “PunchCard,” a series mimicking time cards punched for the labor of caring for a newborn; and Remmen uses rearrangeable house-paint color chips named in fancy script to cast shade on the ridiculous commercial names of said colors.
