Suzy Kopf
in[ex]terior

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 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.”
