Lower East Side Printshop is pleased to present "To Knead a Knot" with guest curator Jesse Bandler Firestone. The exhibition will be on view at the Printshop, and online through September 25, 2022.
About
To Knead a Knot is curated by Jesse Bandler Firestone, Curator and Exhibition Coordinator at Montclair State University Galleries, and features new works by seven artists: Sasha Brodsky, Rachel Burgess, Kevin Claiborne, Matthew Cole, Douglas Collins, Amaryllis DeJesus Moleski, and Debora Francis. The exhibition is on view both online, and at Lower East Side Printshop through September 25.
To Knead a Knot takes its name from a massage therapy technique. Hands are used to apply pressure and squeeze a specific spot in the body where there is a knot – a site of tightness and discomfort in a muscle. Applying the same approach to emotional and psychological spaces of tension, distress, or confusion, the artists in the exhibition see their practice as a way to massage, work out, and rework their own knots. In turn, the works on display are also a collection of responses to a variety of the tumultuous and mercurial encounters that the artists have had related to their identity, larger collective experiences, and the spaces we inhabit.
