We are honored to work with these two artists and are looking forward to introducing their work to the community on Sept 14th 2024.
Main Space:
Hannah Parrett is an artist and educator based out of Cincinnati, OH whose work explores the malleable boundaries of perception through expanded painting practices. Raised in South Dakota, Hannah relocated to the midwest in 2017 and has lived there for the past seven years. During her time in central and southern Ohio she finished her masters degree at Ohio State University where she taught as a lecturer from 2020-2022, and co-founded Dream Clinic Project Space, an artist-run gallery that operates out of a shared studio collective in Columbus, OH.
She was the recipient of the Greater Columbus Arts Council Fellowship in 2021 and has exhibited locally and nationally at galleries that include the Pizzuti Collection through the Columbus Museum of Art, the Louise Underwood Hopkins Center for Contemporary Art, Lubbock TX, and The Neon Heater, Findlay OH. She attended residencies at the Hambidge Center for the Arts in 2022, Vermont Studio Center in February of 2024, and was the artist in residence at Visible Records in Charlottesville VA in January of 2024. She has an upcoming solo show at Alice F. and Harris K. Weston Art Gallery in Cincinnati in 2025 and will be attending ACRE residency the summer of 2024. Her work can be seen in the Midwest Editions #155 #167 of New American Paintings.
The Skirt:
Annamariah Knox (b. New York City, NY), is a multidisciplinary artist primarily working with textiles, soft sculpture, video, and movement. She makes multimedia installations that integrate videos of body gestures with soft sculpture, to explore the connection to one’s spirit, as it is accessed through the physical body as the locus of responding to the world. She screen-prints, dyes, and bleaches fabric, sews moving blankets, and casts concrete to create large-scale interactive installations. Within and upon these forms, she projects video of moving bodies, engaging a variety of movement modalities including semaphore, sign language, clowning, and mime, to represent a human body’s life force as it manifests in the world. In 2023 she received an MFA from Cornell University, and has exhibited work in Ithaca, NY, and Brooklyn, NY. She is currently based between New York City, NY and Ithaca, NY.
