Suzy-Kopf---inexterior.jpg

Baltimore-based artist Suzy Kopf hangs paintings and collages, and creates a site-specific installation in the gallery.

With in[ex]terior, artist Suzy Kopf extends her survey of the enduring mythos of the American Dream. Accessing observations of historic imagery and architecture as a landmark, Kopf excavates midcentury design via artworks that summon aspiration and second-hand nostalgia for the buried but not forgotten recent past.

BLUES
The Color, the Music, and the State of Mind

BLUES-by-Curator-Rebecca-Cross.jpg

BLUES explores enthusiasm for blue(s) in many forms. According to Curator Rebecca Cross of Cross MacKenzie Gallery, who conceptualized and installed this exhibition: “This was the year of the blues. Our collective experience of sadness and loss is embodied in the color blue. But there are positive connotations of the color, too; under blue skies, feeling the calm, tranquility, serenity of the hue and even, according to Kandinsky, the spirituality.”
