The Bottom of Reality | Michael Marras
This exhibition continues narratives that run through Michael Marras’ sculptural artworks, including “Voyages of the Drum Heller,”, a tale about a vessel of records that catalogs and collects items, journeying across space and time. The ship represents the artist’s process of storytelling through sculpture composed of collected objects from Akron’s decaying industrial giants. The works are created from reclaimed steel juxtaposed with computer-generated laser-cut parts, combining old and new technologies.

New Chapter | Janoi Daley
Artworks set in a fluorescent, liminal environment create an immersive exploration of an imagined world beyond our own in which each work exists as a suspended moment. Through her paintings, Janoi Daley navigates themes of identity and cultural dislocation, threading together narratives of migration, colonialism, survival and the bliss within that. The exhibition underlines how Black bodies are perceived and treated in predominantly white societies, while celebrating the complexities of their existence.
