]]> Intervals of Mark and Matter & Balikbayan Box Preview Party https://krasl.org/event/intervals-of-mark-and-matter-balikbayan-box-preview-party/ Fri, 14 Aug 2026 22:00:00 +0000 https://krasl.org/?post_type=tribe_events&p=22728 Opening this August, Intervals of Mark and Matter brings together the work of KC Crow Maddox, Karen Dana Cohen, Evan Mazzelan, Amelia Mendelsohn, Ivan Montoya, Thương Hoài Trần, and Antonio Scott Nichols. These artists approach painting as a site of translation where material, image, and lived experience converge. Drawing from personal and cultural narratives, the artists engage themes such as family, mythology, migration, and identity to construct works that feel both intimate and expansive. Across the exhibition, painting emerges as a living and expansive practice: one that does not simply depict, but questions, experiments, and reaches outward.
Opening in the Project Space, Krasl Art Center presents a new installation by Bella Kiser, expanding her exploration of soft architecture. Working within fiber, sculpture, installation, performance, and sound, Kiser builds environments that consider how ideas of home and identity are shaped through experience and space.
Join us for the Preview Party on Friday, August 14, from 6–8 PM.
