Upcoming Exhibitions
The Obstacle is the Path
Curated by Esther Hernandez
May 2 — June 1, 2024
The Obstacle is the Path seeks to highlight some of the talent and innovation of the artists and curators who have been essential to our journey over the past five years. Inspired by the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, who famously said, "What stands in the way becomes the way," this exhibition commemorates Union Hall's 5th Anniversary by delving into this timeless concept. The collection of artwork seeks to explore how obstacles, challenges, and constraints serve not as barriers but as catalysts for transformation along the creative path, shedding light on the artist's journey of creation. Artists include Chrissy Espinoza, Cory Feder, Eseosa Edebiri, Fernando Orellana, Jenna Annunziato, MaryV, Masha Sha, Nadiya Jackson, Natalie Thedford, and Sarah McCormick.
The Center Cannot Hold
Curated by Esther Hernandez
June 13 — August 10, 2024
Fitz J. Lewis, Sara Rockinger, and Stephanie Mercedes engage with themes of gun violence, war, and cultural conditioning. Featuring a combination of performance, sculpture, and textile art, the collection of works questions societal norms, explores personal experiences and challenges the glorification of guns and war in our culture. The exhibition critically examines these issues and attempts to transform symbols of violence and loss into expressions of beauty, art, and transformation.
