Chalky Wrinkle Shape Shine
JAI HART + TIMOTHY KADISH
January 18 — March 15, 2025
Chalky Wrinkle Shape Shine. That's right! Say the title out loud if you dare. You might crack a smile or even snort a little. And that's exactly what we're going for here. We wanted to bring the playful aliveness of Jai Hart + Timothy Kadish's artworks to your eyes, ears, and mouth. We're hoping to delight all your senses really. Well, maybe not your smell. But can't you imagine cuddling up next to one of Jai's soft sculptures? Or perhaps you might even relish in seeing your own reflection shining back at you in one of Timothy's deliciously shellacked surfaces. This show is your invitation to come inside while it's still chilly. To enjoy the sights, let me tell you, there's lots to see! And let your heart be moved—it may even skip a beat—because it might start hopscotching while you're in the gallery... Come play!
