Exploring intersections of art and activism, Against Monoculture offers a creative lens through which to examine the structural causes and consequences of food inequality. Bringing together artists whose practices foreground the role of food in community, struggle, and survival, the exhibition considers the ways food is a direct link to land, culture, and identity, and how cultivating, preparing, and sharing food are fundamental creative acts.

Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld: Cosmic Connections 

Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Gallery, February 13 - December 12, 2024
uncorrupted mystery
Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld, Uncorrupted Mystery, 1990. mixed media on canvas. 40 x 72 inches. Collection of Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum. Gift of the artist.

Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld: Cosmic Connections is the third exhibition of the artist鈥檚 work drawn from the Museum鈥檚 collection. Drawn from multiple series of work, this exhibition includes several of the artist鈥檚 large abstract paintings and related drawings made in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As the artist increasingly identified as a poet and visual artist, she began to create abstract, gestural works referencing the landscape and the cosmos. Two bodies of work, Cosmic Connections and Landscape Abstractions, reflect Kleefeld鈥檚 deepening understanding of her position within what she calls 鈥渢he flow.鈥 Recognizing herself as a creative being within a larger natural universe, Kleefeld鈥檚 work from this period expresses her continuing exploration of spiritual movements and consciousness-expansive practices.
