Apex
Volume Gallery is delighted to announce Apex, a multi-generational group show of contemporary American artists working in fiber. Curated by esteemed craft specialist Meaghan Roddy, the exhibition features work by Tanya Agui帽iga, Lia Cook, Ricki Dwyer, Josh Faught, Terri Friedman, Ferne Jacobs, Michael Rohde, SHENEQUA, and Jana Vander Lee.
Apex facilitates a dialogue among nine remarkable artists working in textiles now. In this context, the word 鈥榓pex鈥� refers to a meeting point for these artists, many of whom arrived at working in fiber through different media, areas of practice, or subjects of study. It also refers to the joining of the many technical and material differences, practical approaches, and the diversity of age, geographical location, identity, and cultural backgrounds of the makers in the show.
Expanding on Volume Gallery鈥檚 existing program of presenting the work of contemporary American makers whose practices hover beyond the confines of categorization, this exhibition suggests no hierarchy among technical or material uses, or among established and emerging makers. Apex presents these artists as contemporaries living and producing alongside each other, exploring the limitless potential of the same craft.
Apex is an inaugural exhibition curated by Meaghan Roddy, the first in a series of exhibitions initiated by Volume Gallery to engage the perspectives of academics, market leaders, and influential voices within contemporary art, design, and craft. Roddy鈥檚 field of interest is mining alternate art histories to tell a more complete story of American art and design, spotlighting the common through-current of craft practices and materials, their precedence, and trajectory.
