Join us Saturday, April 16, 2022, @ 4:00 PM to celebrate the opening of In Color by Mimi Graminski at our 9 Paradies Lane gallery space.
Please note due to the size of our space and our concern for the health & safety of our guests, we will have a limit of 25 people in the 9 Paradies Ln. Gallery space at a time. A staff member will be on site to ensure all visitors get a chance to enjoy the show. If you would like to schedule a visit to see the show after the opening, please email info@unisonarts.org
In Color encapsulates three bodies of work by Graminski and captures the threads between color and form, sense and memory, work as practice. Drawings rendered in ‘hot’ colors and languid, intuitive swirls-as-lines and circles mark her own childhood in the 1960s, the upheaval, change, and progress, the social, shared memories of that time. Laconic, free-form crocheted works weave together doll clothes, some she made in her youth. They stitch together one woman’s childhood and work and blossom into a sustained critique of gendered labor.
Finally, in a third, performative body of work, Graminski uses the same colors, similar forms, and translucent materials pinned and folded to make a sculptural installation that will, over the course of the exhibition, fill out a gallery space. Graminski builds more forms in the installation each week. Her performative exploration will expand the material and commemorative quality of sense memory in Unison’s gallery spaces.
