In the COMMUNITY SPACE

Closing Reception Saturday April 26th

ABOUT both/and

both/and is an exhibition with work from artists Mo Kessler, Lori Park, Susan Martin and Kate Chassner that acknowledges the beauty of multiple perspectives and open possibilities. The work in this show offers interpretations of both/and thinking- as opposed to either/or, which becomes too simplistic and leaves little room for complex solutions. Considering multiple possibilities creates a space that is welcoming through many entry points. This show includes paintings that embrace both hard and soft edges, work with concepts of varying viewpoints, themes of both nostalgia and pain, images that make you do a double take, and mixed media work that offers more questions than it does answers. 

This group show, curated by Kate Chassner, invites the viewers to reflect on ideas within the work that both embrace challenging realities and find solutions that embody contradictory ideas. Allowing for each to be our truth.

SUPPORT US HERE!

Revolve is a contemporary art space that functions as part gallery, part studio, part performance and gathering space. We host exhibitions, events, and happenings that push the boundaries between artist and audience. Our intention is focused on representing creative energies on a foundation of inclusion, accessibility and experimentation. We are volunteer-run by artists who believe in the power of community. We are committed to being a space that is sustainable for art while remaining accessible for all.

Our mission is to support the varied creative folks of Western North Carolina, as well as regions beyond, to represent many different communities and forms of expression. In doing so, we hope to build a community with connections to an intellectual landscape that reaches beyond our mountain borders.

Accessibility is important. Revolve is a place to grow together as a community of makers. We are happy to be able to provide time + space for your creative and communal experience, but we are committed to not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment including but not limited to: homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, ageism, xenophobia, ableism. Revolve strives to create a safer space for marginalized communities and voices, we keep ourselves safe.

ADA-friendly: We rent from RAMP Studios and are not permitted to make the necessary changes to our space to be completely ADA-compliant. There are no automatic doors for building or bathroom access, and one portion of our gallery is only accessible by a small flight of stairs. You can experience most of our space safely with more than 3 feet of clearance for passthroughs, exhibitions permitting. If you have additional concerns, please reach out for additional information.
