EXHIBITION: 3436 – Ohemaa Dixon
Candela Gallery is honored to feature an installation of 3436, an ongoing project by Ohemaa Dixon. Experiencing Dixon’s work in person is essential to understanding the artist’s intention. Working as an interdisciplinary artist, Dixon’s large scale works, printed on Habotai Silk, are a direct response to the history and visual trauma of lynching.
EXHIBITION: wILD cLAY
wILD cLAY is an exhibition of artworks by Tim Roda, exploring clay and photography as artistic mediums connected by uncharacteristic utility. The works in this exhibition embrace the functional history of clay as a vessel, making photography and material a means of exploratory documentation. The vessels in wILD cLAY function as clay cameras, while also existing as fragile, earthen material and crudely created domestic ecosystems. The resulting pinhole cameras and large scale photographs present questions about freedom and responsibility, raised by curiosity and ingenuity, with regard to our constructed and natural environments.

POP-UP EXHIBITION: DAY 155, 156, 157
More than 4 months without electricity, without water — a crisis caused by a natural disaster, but made possible by over a century of U.S. colonialism. For about a million Puerto Ricans, this is still their daily reality. Without a vote in Congress, and with increasingly restrictive laws and regulation, the island has had little power in helping itself, becoming more dependent every day on outside help.
Day 155, 156, 157 is an educational experience, working to put the current crisis into perspective. The weekend programming will be composed of an exhibition of photographic and sculptural work, depicting the tragedy and the prevalent need in Puerto Rico. Proceeds from the exhibition will go toward helping small Puerto Rican farmers re-establish their farms and rebuild their communities.
EXHIBITION: Resonantia
This fall, Louviere + Vanessa will transform Candela Books + Gallery into an immersive, multi-sensory environment, incorporating animated vinyl record, film, and abstract photographs. Their new series, Resonantia is a reflection of their extensive exploration through a multitude of media, blurring the line between sight and sound.
