Postdiluvian
Tracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present our first exhibition of 2025, Postdiluvian. The exhibition features work by 20 artists living and working in Western North Carolina, and is co-curated by Asheville based artist, curator, and educator Erika Diamond. Join us for a Reception for the Artists Friday, January 31 from 6-8PM.
By the time of the exhibition鈥檚 opening, it will have been four months since Helene ravaged our region. There are still remnants everywhere, from the minuscule to the catastrophic. Most conversation still revolve in some way around the storm, and it鈥檚 difficult to convey our spectrum of emotions to those outside the region. Many of our gallery artists and others in our arts community lost decades worth of work from flooded studios, homes, and galleries. Many artists find themselves unable to make work about anything else, while many find themselves unable to make work at all. This exhibition addresses these complexities, and the pieces on view were all made in reaction to, were recovered from, or became newly relevant in the wake of the flood. Ultimately, Postdiluvian reflects on recovery, resilience, and the enduring strength of community.
