Rachel Granofsky and Crys Yin: S lly S lls S sh lls by th S Sh r
About
Lighthouse Works is excited to present S lly S lls S sh lls, an exhibition by Rachel Granofsky (30) and Crys Yin (24), our third exhibition of the 2023 season focusing on Lighthouse Works alumni. The title of the exhibition creatively captures its essence by removing vowels from the familiar tongue-twister "Sally Sells…" This deliberate play with language underscores the themes of absence, erasure, care, and loss explored within the exhibition. Granofsky and Yin, although previously unacquainted, discovered striking commonalities and resonances in their respective artistic practices.
A price-list is available upon request, with all sales benefitting the artists and Lighthouse Works. A press release is available for download, here.
twofold is a series of conversations in and around the Annex gallery between Lighthouse Works alumni. The concept of the series is simple: one fellow is invited to select the work of another fellow with whom they want to be in conversation. The artists meet for studio visits and decide together what might be presented in the space. The series intends to initiate a starting point and share beginnings rather than conclusions. Each exhibition is intended as a process rather than a fully-finished form. Supplementing the exhibition-as-conversation, the series also features interviews with exhibiting artists as part of Lighthouse Works’ podcast series More Friends.
