We present Glynnis Lessing and Juan Fried - Memento, 5th Annual Painting Invitational, and in Gallery no. 5: Dragon Cove by Stephon Ashley This show, Memento, refers to physical objects meant to remember a person, place, or past event. Originating from the Latin imperative for "remember," these items serve as tangible reminders or tokens of memory. Lessing says about the show, “By creating these pieces that commemorate significant moments of joy or transformation in my long life, I am sending my memories out into the world; to lose the stories they symbolize for me and to become meaningful in other ways to other people. By making something that can last 10,000 years, I am entrusting bits of my life to strangers, to the ages, until all meaning is lost. I embrace this process as part of the beauty of creating functional vessels.” 5th Annual Painting Invitational Our 5th Annual Painting Invitational showcases artists working in a range of media and styles within the discipline of painting. Each artist masterfully crafts thoughtful and compelling works presenting their particular point of view. Artists include Tony Conrad, Deb Gottschalk, Rachael Griffin, Charles Munch, Dennis Nechvatal, Kassandra Palmer, Trina May Smith, and Skyler Simpson. Over the past decade, Stephon Ashley has created thousands of three-dimensional dragon sculptures. Working out of his studio at ArtWorking in Madison, WI, Ashley is a self-taught artist who constructs these colorful creations using a variety of conventional and unconventional materials, including pipe cleaners, plaster, clay, and fiber. This exhibition features a diverse collection of these imaginative creatures, including a large plaster dragon and numerous vibrant works displayed as if in flight throughout the gallery. Many of these figures originated in the artist's dreams, and Ashley has given them names and distinct personalities. The installation promises to be colorful, abundant, visually stimulating, and inviting for viewers of all ages.

Abel Contemporary Gallery presents an Artist Talk from Glynnis Lessing and Juan Friedan Raised primarily in the Midwest, Glynnis Lessing was introduced to ceramics at the age of ten and has maintained a deep interest in the medium ever since. She continued her interest in clay throughout high school and gained early experience working for a potter at sixteen. After studying at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, she earned a BFA from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. She has spent her career as an artist and educator. Juan Alejandro Fried Ortiz de Zarate is an architect and artist whose work reflects the diversity of his ancestry, his urban experiences, and home in the countryside. Born and raised in Venezuela, Juan studied art history and architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Minnesota. As an architect and urban designer, he completed award-winning designs for public agencies and community groups. As an artist, he continues his study of form, space, and materials on a more intimate scale. This show, Memento, refers to physical objects meant to remember a person, place, or past event. Originating from the Latin imperative for "remember," these items serve as tangible reminders or tokens of memory. Lessing says about the show, “By creating these pieces that commemorate significant moments of joy or transformation in my long life, I am sending my memories out into the world; to lose the stories they symbolize for me and to become meaningful in other ways to other people. By making something that can last 10,000 years, I am entrusting bits of my life to strangers, to the ages, until all meaning is lost.

A team of scientists explore a distant planet, shadowed by their Company-supplied 'droid--a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as "Murderbot." Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth. Books will be available on the top floor display six weeks in advance.
