Working from traditions of painting, the artists in this show use the formats of painting to explore a diverse range of themes related to contemporary American culture. These include leisure culture, personal histories, queer identity, and the nature of perception. A unifying theme of the work is the relationship to traditional approaches to painting, while simultaneously pushing the limits if the medium's scale and material presence. Perhaps most importantly, personal friendship unifies this group of individuals, each of whom occupies a different age bracket and each of whom have a unique biography. Their identity as a group speaks to the potential for visual art to diminish separateness and create new paths of communication among individuals who are otherwise quite different from one another.

The MICA Low-Residency program is an unconventional course of study for the MFA degree. In place of the traditional two-year program, Low-Residency convenes over four summer sessions at the MICA campus in Baltimore, MD. For the remainder of the year, students have the option to live and maintain a studio practice elsewhere. This model attracts students from diverse geographical locations and cultural backgrounds, and often with expertise in other fields.

This exhibition is organized by Ortega y Gasset member Eric Hibit.

Also on view: a site-specific installation in the gallery vestibule by George Rush

Run of Show: Nov. 5th - Dec. 3rd, 2014

Opening Reception: Wednesday, Nov. 5th, from 6 - 9pm

Featuring: JD Banke, Michelle Fleck, Paul Gagner, Michael Hyder, Isaac Mann, Aliza Morell and Anna Valdez

For our inaugural show at Trestle Projects as the Curators in Residence, we are pleased to announce treasure trove, an exhibition of private spaces, personal archives, and the inner lives of artists.

The artists in treasure trove welcome us into their intimate spaces filled with remnants and memorabilia. Each work is a specific, undisclosed moment where we seem to be the sole voyeur. Whether real or imagined, past or present, each "room" is a curiosity with its own invented relics; we begin to imagine how the artist might live, how they might work. We are given an invitation to investigate their documentation, their innermost chambers, sacred objects and environments; in turn, each work becomes a by-proxy self-portrait.

MaDora Frey
Re McBride
Kara Rooney

Speak with artists MaDora Frey and Re McBride on Saturday and Sunday. 

Trestle Gallery's Development Director Emma Katz will be present on 

Sunday October 19th to answer questions.

The Search features artworks that may leave the viewer with more questions than

answers. The process of seeking a new understanding acts as a connecting thread

for each of the artist’s imagery, whether that be in the form of two or three-dimensions.

In addition to mechanical sculptures, MaDora Frey creates works using liquid graphite and

other fluid materials. These drawings resemble something as familiar as a puddle seen up

close, or as extraterrestrial as the surface of another planet viewed through a telescope.

Re McBride’s paintings, set against a backdrop of eerily stunning natural settings, tell

a tale of individuals either lost or found. Each relays an open-ended story that appears

partially true and partially re-invented through memory. Kara L. Rooney’s sculptural

work could be an altar or a mystical relic from another time and place. Her graphite and

acrylic drawings, utilize the meditative affects of repetitive mark-making as a means of

accessing subconscious thoughts, past events and desires. Together, these works create

an aura of mysteriousness couched within the dreamscape of memory and deep space,

highlighting our fascination with and complex relation to such ephemeral modes of being.
