Refreshment: On the Aesthetics of Reawakening
New York, NY - Space 776 is pleased to announce Refreshment: On the Aesthetics of Reawakening, a summer group exhibition featuring the works of Ocean, Roberta Gattel, and Mary McGee. On view from July 18 to August 3, 2025, the exhibition invites viewers into a contemplative space that foregrounds slowness, ritual, and interior resonance as acts of resistance in a world driven by speed, spectacle, and surface.
In the ever-accelerating cadence of contemporary life, where the infinite scroll competes with the finite breath, Refreshment unfolds not as escape but as an intentional return. It is a deliberate recalibration of vision, an exhibition that invites viewers to consider clarity not as immediacy but as something slow, bodily, and ritualistic. Featuring works by Ocean, Roberta Gattel, and Mary McGee, Refreshment turns away from spectacle and instead engages the quiet and rigorous labor of seeing鈥攐f feeling time, of reclaiming attention.
Each of the three artists comes to the exhibition from distinct geographies, life paths, and conceptual frameworks. Yet they converge through a shared fidelity to repetition, mark-making, and interior resonance. Their works move across mediums鈥攄rawing, text, mixed media鈥攁nd yet speak in harmonic tones. They offer practices of vision as discipline, self-reclamation, and meditative endurance.
