ImperfectSlumber

IM/PERFECT SLUMBERS

February 11–August 20, 2023

Guest curated by M artist-in-residence Katya Oicherman in collaboration with Curator of Exhibitions Laura Joseph

On view in the M’s window galleries and skyway entrance.

Im/perfect Slumbers is a multi-disciplinary series of art installations occurring in the M’s window galleries and skyway entrance. Diverse voices of local artists, writers, and cultural activists capture the historical and contemporary state of sleeping and being in bed. This exhibition is the result of textile artist and researcher Katya Oicherman’s long-term residency at the M.

Sleeping habits, behaviors, and objects are diverse, yet the very necessity of sleep is shared by all. Those familiar and accessible everyday objects and practices serve as a conversation opener to reflect on sleep in all of its physiological, psychological, social, and political complexity.  Explore the soft aesthetics of textiles and the associative imagery of dreams through the work of Rachel Breen, Sayge Carroll, Amoke Awele Kubat, Shanai Matteson, Katya Oicherman, Molly Parker Stuart, Anat Spiegel, Rotem Tamir, Yuko Taniguchi, Gwen Westerman, and Peng Wu.

Carriers for Posterity

Carriers for Posterity

January 28—March 23, 2022
Law Warschaw Gallery

Reception and Catalogue Launch
Friday, March 4**
6–9 pm

In Carriers for Posterity, artists are autoethnographers who bring forward histories of family and self through images and objects that hold these truths. Working as historians, artists use the authority of lived experience to trace lineage, intersect time, connect to place, and create new traditions for themselves, their families, and future generations. Tributaries of personal stories, complex identities, dreams, and memories, come together in this exhibition to form a greater connected narrative and eventually a shared history. It asks, how will we become to know us? It speaks for lost loved ones; it speaks to our progeny, who will carry what they can. It is written by women who carry the joys, traumas, and traditions that compose a familial continuum of knowledge. Carriers for Posterity features new and recent projects by Jessica Carolina González (Houston, TX), Alexa Horochowski (Minneapolis, MN), Merritt Johnson (Sitka, AK), Jovan C. Speller (Park Rapids, MN), Rotem Tamir (Minneapolis, MN) and Maggie Thompson (St. Paul, MN). For more info: https://www.macalester.edu/gallery/
