Material Memory Exhibition Public Preview Party
2026-02-06 18:00 - 20:00 | Krasl Art Center, 707 Lake Blvd, St. Joseph, MI, 49085, United States
Material Memory explores how knowledge, history, and cultural memory are carried through objects and the act of making. Bringing together four artists working in ceramics, fiber, tapestry, and print, the exhibition centers analog processes, material investigation, and the slow accumulation of gesture and meaning.
Through hand-built ceramics, bead-encrusted vessels, pony-bead tapestries, and meticulously carved relief prints, the artists in Material Memory examine how culture and personal histories are inherited, learned, and reinterpreted through labor, repetition, and intimate engagement with material. These works ask viewers to consider how objects embody memory, mediate identity, and carry stories across generations.
Together, the artists in Material Memory use material as language—foregrounding slow, analog processes as acts of remembering, learning, and transmission. Their works are deeply personal yet culturally resonant, tracing the invisible threads of inheritance that bind past, present, and future.

Opening Reception for Malcolm Taylor: The State of Play
2026-02-06 18:00 - 20:00 | Krasl Art Center ArtLab, 707 Lake BLVD, St. Joesph, MI, 49085, United States
Krasl Art Center presents Malcolm Taylor: Prologue, The State of Play, on view February 7 through May 10, 2026 in the ArtLab. The exhibition opens with a free public reception on Thursday, February 6, from 6 – 8 PM.

The State of Play marks Benton Harbor–based photographer Malcolm Taylor’s first gallery exhibition, offering an adventurous exploration of storytelling through action figure photography. Taylor stages intricate miniature sets and captures them in vivid, cinematic photographs that blur the line between play and narrative. Featuring characters drawn from comics, video games, and popular culture, the works are infused with humor, nostalgia, and imagination, inviting viewers into fully realized worlds at a toy-sized scale.

Material Memory Exhibition
2026-02-07 - 2026-05-09 | Krasl Art Center, 707 Lake Blvd, St. Joseph, MI, 49085, United States
Material Memory explores how knowledge, history, and cultural memory are carried through objects and the act of making. Bringing together four artists working in ceramics, fiber, tapestry, and print, the exhibition centers analog processes, material investigation, and the slow accumulation of gesture and meaning.
Through hand-built ceramics, bead-encrusted vessels, pony-bead tapestries, and meticulously carved relief prints, the artists in Material Memory examine how culture and personal histories are inherited, learned, and reinterpreted through labor, repetition, and intimate engagement with material. These works ask viewers to consider how objects embody memory, mediate identity, and carry stories across generations.
Featuring:
Chris Salas (Ceramics)
Salas’s hand-built ceramic forms emerge through intuitive, iterative processes informed by personal relationships, historical research, and the ongoing legacy of colonization in the Americas. Clay becomes a vessel for cultural reckoning, holding layered histories through time-intensive making and surface.
Katie Mongoven (Fiber, Beading)
Mongoven transforms found blue-and-white ceramic vessels with intricate beadwork and embroidery. Her labor-intensive practice explores diasporic memory, identity reconstruction, and the reclamation of Orientalist objects through touch, repetition, and bodily presence.
akeylah wellington (Sculpture, Tapestry)
Wellington’s pony-bead tapestries and mixed-media sculptures blend humor, endurance, and personal history. Drawing on childhood imagery, early digital culture, and found materials, her work preserves stories of displacement, resilience, and generational inheritance.
Ramiro Rodriguez (Printmaking)
Rodriguez’s woodblock and linoleum relief prints document familial and cultural narratives rooted in Mexican-American print traditions. Through carving and layered printing, his work embeds memory, transformation, and inherited knowledge into the physical act of making.
Together, the artists in Material Memory use material as language—foregrounding slow, analog processes as acts of remembering, learning, and transmission. Their works are deeply personal yet culturally resonant, tracing the invisible threads of inheritance that bind past, present, and future.

Preview Party: Sculpture in the Direct Method
2026-05-15 18:00 - 20:00 | Krasl Art Center, 707 Lake Blvd, St. Joseph, MI, 49085, United States
Sculpture in the Direct Method presents a dynamic conversation between generations of Black artists, exploring abstraction, representation, and political engagement in modern and contemporary practice. Featuring Isaac Duncan III, Ajene Cetawayo Williams, Richard Hunt, and Albert LaVergne, the exhibition highlights how material, form, and concept intersect to reflect both personal and collective histories.
The works on view range from bold abstraction to nuanced representation, moving between politically engaged statements and more meditative explorations of gesture and form. Across sculpture and painting, the exhibition demonstrates the breadth and complexity of Black artistic expression.
By bringing together artists from two generations, the exhibition invites consideration of how ideas, techniques, and perspectives evolve while remaining grounded in cultural experience and artistic inquiry. Throughout, material and process serve as key points of connection, shaping how artists engage identity, history, and culture.

Artists in Dialogue: Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams
2026-05-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Krasl Art Center, 707 Lake Blvd, St. Joseph, MI, 49085, United States
Join artists Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams to learn more about their exhibition: Sculpture in the Direct Method.

Spanning generations of artistic practice, Sculpture in the Direct Method explores how artists engage abstraction, representation, and material process as interconnected and evolving strategies. The featured artists employ a range of visual languages, from gestural and improvisational approaches to more structured and symbolic forms, reflecting the breadth of contemporary and modern Black artistic practice.

At the center of the exhibition is the direct method of metal sculpture, in which materials are cut, bent, and welded together to build form. This process allows for immediacy and revision, positioning material as an active and responsive element in the development of each work. Rather than adhering to predetermined outcomes, artists working in this way often allow form to emerge through interaction with their materials.

Sculpture in the Direct Method is on view through August 9th.
