Consider joining us on Saturday, 1/15 from 1.00pm - 3.00pm for the receptions associated with this month's featured exhibitions at the Goldmark Cultural Center, located at 13999 and 14001 Goldmark Dr, Dallas, TX 75240.
To Remember To Speak Our Mother Tongue
The Goldmark Cultural Center’s J.H. Milde Gallery is proud to present To Remember To Speak Our Mother Tongue, a group exhibition of works curated by Narong Tintamusik.
In To Remember To Speak Our Mother Tongue, artists explore the languages found within their dual identities. Olivia Arratia, Usama Khalid, Adrianna Touch verbalize their Mexican, Pakistani, and Cambodian heritage as Americans of color. Painting, sculpture, photography, and installation help translate the complex dialogue spoken between the artists and the world around them. Contemporary life forms complete sentences with generational customs. Familiar household objects, distant photographs, and convoluted shapes and patterns span lives of past, present, and future. These images uphold the importance of cultural preservation while existing within Western upbringings. Although certain information passed down from generation to generation is fragmented, the pieces start to form a new whole. Their unique viewfinders allow them to find their voice and continue their lineage. This new language they speak is a bridge between the two worlds.
The exhibition will be on display from 7 January 2022 to 4 February 2022. An exhibition reception will be held on 15 January 2022 from 1.00pm to 3.00pm at the J.H. Milde Gallery.
Flow
The Goldmark Cultural Center's Norman Brown Gallery is proud to present Flow, an exhibition of sculptural and photographic works by Barbara Frey, Kenda North, and Teresa Rafidi.
The works displayed in Flow invite visitors to contemplate the multifaceted themes of flux and change as they relate to both the creative process and their own shared and personal experiences. The past two years have produced a constant state of transition and frequently unpredictable changes for all, including the three featured artists whose works provide timely and illustrative commentary on the impermanent and transitory nature of the human experience.
The wood-fired ceramic works of Barbara Frey are products of unpredictable flames and environmental conditions and are thus tangibly impacted by sequences of events that can be both uncontrollable and spontaneous in their fundamental nature, while the photographic works of Kenda North and Teresa Rafidi reflect on the ever-shifting flux inherent to the passage of time and our perceptions of it.
Flow will be on display at the Norman Brown Gallery from 7 January 2022 to 4 February 2022, and an exhibition reception will be held at the N. Brown Gallery on 15 January 2022 from 1pm - 3pm.
