Join us for a night of visual art, insight, and discovery. All ages and experience levels welcome—come curious, leave inspired.
Explore contemporary abstract art through an expansive 40-year survey of Turner Prize–winner Veronica Ryan’s work along with new exhibitions of recent work by Eric N. Mack and Nanette Carter. You’ll experience their innovative use of materials from fabric and Mylar to seeds and packaging and discover the stories behind their work—including new Wex commissions—in a conversation with the artists. Throughout the evening, you’ll encounter key themes to consider, including identity and memory, migration, the Black experience, political upheaval, fashion, architecture, and more.
In addition, in The Box, experience Mimi Ọnụọha’s video Us, Aggregated, 3.0, which challenges the idea of a singular, unified “us” and raises important questions about technology and who holds the power to decide how we are categorized.
The reception begins at 5 PM. At 5:30 PM, everyone is invited to the Film/Video Theater for an accessible and engaging conversation with Carter, Mack, and Ryan moderated by Ohio State Associate Professor of Art History Sampada Aranke. The exhibitions will open to the public after the talk.
Connect with creative people who help shape today’s art world, enjoy refreshments, and immerse yourself in a vibrant atmosphere of artistic discovery.
