“All gods are hot” – Wine Reception
May 30, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Join us for Wine Night at Radiant Space during “All gods are hot”!
For this exhibition, LA-based artist Alexandra Carter created an immersive tableau of translucent paintings that she suspends throughout the exhibition space, activating their double-sided nature while exploring themes of fantasy, folklore and agriculture. She also exhibits a series of drawings that use cranberry juice as a medium, referencing her upbringing on a Massachusetts cranberry farm.
Also on display will be a selection of the artist’s ongoing series using cranberry as a medium. The tart, highly pigmented fruit acts as a symbol of personal identity (the literal livelihood of her upbringing), and of tension with familial patriarchy. Using the concentrate and sediment from cranberry skin, the artist paints onto antique linen handkerchiefs, exploiting the staining effect of the pigment while signaling an intimate history with the body.
The reception will include complimentary wine and a special cocktail by the artist featuring her signature pigment.
Street parking available but uber and lyft recommended. There is a paid lot by Electric Owl with an entrance off of Gardner. Do not park in the lot directly next to the gallery. Check signs.
