Proximities

Best Western is pleased to announce Proximities, a five-person exhibition of work that explores the interconnected web of nearness and occurrences. Proximites includes the work of Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo (Frederick Hammersley Visiting Artist, Spring 2023), Amanda Curreri (Painting and Drawing Assistant Professor), Nick Larsen, Hilary Nelson, and J Rivera Pansa. The works in this exhibition are comprised of handmade paper, digital and traditional weaving techniques, stained glass, manipulated photographic collage, and regenerative sculpture. The artists share a speculative sense of discovery in reshaping how things could be. There is an intentionality that threads each artist’s practice. Along this thread are themes of anarchy, activism, romance and ecology that open into multitudes.
