Parallax Invitational curated by Grant M. Brownlow and Annie Klein
July 10 - August 14, 2026
Parallax -the shifting appearance of an object from two separate and distinct viewpoints. Spanning across the expanded field of print media, these works emerge from and engage with the fluid and shifting dualities inherent to the post-industrial Midwestern experience.
The American Midwest is characterized by images and remnants of its history as a region of prolific production. Labor, consumption, and identity are encoded into the aesthetics of its sprawl. Parallax highlights the diverse voices of emerging artists whose work engages with imagery plucked from the Rustbelt. These works include contemplations on formation and renewal in the fly-over states. Just as these works are in dialogue with one another, they also converse with the culture in which they were created, nodding to familiar images of crumbling concrete and anxious ruminations on the future whose weight it cannot withstand.
Invited Artists: Dustin Brinkman, Grant M. Brownlow, Mary Climes, Zoë Couvillion, Dadisi Curtis, Annie Klein, Andrew Polk, Jackson Taylor, Kurt Tomerlin, Amy Travis, David Wischer, Erin Wohletz
