As we dwell in the fold
October 10鈥�november 7, 2024
Andrea canepa
As we dwell in the fold is an immersive, large-scale, wearable installation of metal and fabric sculptures. The piece is designed to be a tactile and experiential work activated first by a performance and later by the audience of the exhibition. All objects can be interacted with wherein visitors alter the space through their experimentation with the many forms. This project is in part inspired by Canepa's research into various protective fabrics and their relation to the body: from funerary bundles of the ancient Paracas pre-Columbian culture, to tapadas 鈥� Peruvian women in colonial Lima who used a veil to cover their faces revealing just one eye 鈥� to the folding patterns of modern-day parachutes. Drawing from ancient rituals and the Andean culture鈥檚 mythology of the underworld and death, Canepa explores how fabrics shape the way we relate to our bodies and the political and social aspects of un/wrapping or un/covering them. For the artist, fabrics can function as a preservation device 鈥� of the body, of identity 鈥� when they envelope it, but also as an aid to transcend body limits when they expand from it.
As we dwell in the fold debuted at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University in September, 2023. The exhibition is currently on loan from the Broad Art Museum, and we thank the staff of the museum for helping to make this exhibition possible.
The dance performance at the opening of the exhibition was performed by Kaylin Bazick, Emilee Bowden, and Maggie Mallery of Turning Pointe School of Dance in Holland, Michigan.

Maria Burundarena
The immersive installation in the exhibition Holograma de un Recuerdo/Hologram of a Memory, is the creation of Maria Burundarena’s work since moving to the United States. This is a continuation of Burundarena’s exploration of the boundaries of image and light, in which she plays with the gallery space to make it the show’s protagonist. Burundarena engages with the tension of multiple velocities and dimensions to create a sense of awe that goes beyond beauty and admiration. The viewer also has the option to become immersed in the images to understand that what is being observed is not a real image but a trace of reality, allowing them to take flight to a new reality.Read MoreIntercultural Art Practice in South Korea
Leekyung Kang, Madai Huerta, Isabella Gaetjens-Oleson, Ayanna Njoroge, and Joanna Locke
The collection of works in this exhibition is the product of a three-week trip to South Korea and continued art practices at 熊猫在线视频 after the trip. The program was funded by ASIANetwork, the Department of Art and Art History, and the Office of the Dean for Arts and Humanities.

Kim Faler
Kim Faler's exhibition Wasting Time was born out of the pandemic with works that explore the beauty of the mind wondering into the minutiae of everyday life. The power and grace found within dust on the windowsill and the whimsy of a fingerprint ignites a sense of being present, and being bored within our trying times. They ask how touch, time and memory became abstract notions of what we once understood as important, even critical. They ask us to find the beauty and humanity in the remnants, while creating a sense of connection in new and perhaps uncomfortable ways.Read More2022 Borgeson Artist in Residence Show: Felt Sincerity
Nick Fagan
Nick Fagan’s summer research and resulting exhibition revolves around the concept of sincerity and using repurposed objects found in the community. Recently, he’s been working with the idea of residue or spirit in repurposed objects, or more specifically the accomplishment or purpose of objects left behind. With specific interest in things like doilies, crocheted blankets, things that are handmade and likely served as gifts, he believes these objects wear the residues of their past owners’ lives. The sincerity in the object or in the presence of the object comes embedded in its form.Read More - 2021鈥�22Class of 2022; Jason Contangelo, Leekyung Kang, and Emily Mayo; Jim Lee; Ken Steinbach; Maria Calandra; Shauna Merriman

Jim Lee
As described by the gallery, “Jim Lee’s work tends to be rough cut and a little gritty, each a record of test-drives and experiments against modernist principles. Fluctuating between linear abstractions and plays on minimalism, Lee’s style challenges the priority traditionally placed on the pictorial surface alone, while toying with notions of painting as object and painting as experimentation. Exposing the framework that lies beneath a canvas, or cobbling materials in a patchwork of addition, Lee investigates and maintains a tenuous, yet playful, dialogue between completion and destruction throughout his practice.”Read MoreJuried Student Show

Maria Calandra
Maria Calandra’s “Pencil in the Studio” series is an ongoing 10+ year project of pencil-on-paper drawings of other artists’ working places. Cumulatively, the series documents a loosely knit-together artistic community centered in New York City that grows over time. Many of Calandra’s subjects have become both friends and prominent figures in contemporary art as their professional careers have grown since their initial documentation. Co-curated by Calandra and Jay Henderson, De Pree Gallery Director, this exhibition pairs Calandra's drawings with artworks from her subject's studios. Taken as a whole, the exhibition is a personal perspective on the dynamic artistic scene of NYC and will contribute to defining this generation of contemporary artists.
“Pencil in the Studio” features artists: Erik den Breejen, Kari Cholnoky, Kimia Kline, EJ Hauser, Joy Curtis, Jason Stopa, Mike Olin, Christine Heindl, Butt Johnson, Erin Lee Jones, Richard Tinkler, Eve Aschheim, Wendy White, JJ Manford, Matthew F.

Percept Upon Percept
James Perrin
Percept Upon Percept, an exhibition by James Perrin, explores the integration and resolution of disharmonious elements relating to themes in painting and its processes: abstraction and representation, surface and illusion, discord and resolution, chaos and structure. Through the use of imagery derived from varying sources related to his life, Perrin explores the themes and how they relate to, and reflect, human existence.Read More(re)collection
Nate Young
In (re)collection, Nate Young presents an installation that interprets and mythologizes the life of his great-grandfather. A conceptual narrative, the works on view are informed by personal recollection, oral history, family relics and the unearthed bones of the horse that carried Young’s great-grandfather north during the Great Migration. Both personally sourced and historically resonant, (re)collection reflects on the ways in which identity is formed through action and circumstance and transformed by archive and memory.Read MoreJuried Student Show

Leekyung Kang
Virtual experience in the digital form has transformed our perception of reality and our recognition of the physicality of space has been distorted. By leveraging the tension between digital image and traditional mediums in her show Ecstasy on the Surface, Leekyung Kang, the 2019 Borgeson Artist in Residence, intensifies this distortion. Through mass image duplication, its disorientation, randomness, and repetition, there lies a co-existence of the two- and three-dimensional worlds.Read More - 2018鈥�19Class of 2019; Melissa Hopson; Johnathan Clyde Frye;听Patrick Earl Hammie; Bruce McCombs; Caleb Kortokrax

Jonathan Clyde Frey
The work in this exhibition explores national identity, largely focusing on iconic representations of the United States and the myths, clichés and stereotypes they often come to represent. In addition, Jonathan Clyde Frey has always identified as a person somewhere between the mainstream and the marginalized, which informs his way of thinking about art and the world, and, in turn, has led him to these questions: What does it mean to occupy a middle ground? Is it a beneficial position?

Caleb Kortokrax
Gang Chant, an exhibition of new paintings by 2018 Borgeson Artist in Residence Caleb Kortokrax, reinterprets spacial conventions through merging abstract and literal description in his motifs. Kortokrax reanimates the idiosyncratic language of illuminated manuscripts of the Romanesque era in England by expanding its pictorial depth and putting it in conversation with his own notion of abstraction, perception and experiential color. The paintings incant song that harkens back to their own historical lineage; being objects of the present, they unconsciously speak in cryptic terms.Read More - 2017鈥�18Class of 2018; Kathleen Kooiker; Katherine Sullivan;听Malcolm Mobutu Smith; Claudia Esslinger and Tom Giblin; Nancy Susan McCormack

Senior show: out of touch
In this collection of work, we explore individual concepts of humanity depicted in both
2-dimensional and 3-dimensional form. Through a variety of approaches, we look into the simplicity and excess of human form and human essence. By manipulating the familiar, we reduce the figure into elements of structure, identity and nature. In our exploration of the figure, we search for comfort, satisfaction and depth. As we search, we find that there can be discomfort in the form in that it cannot always satisfy. The deeper we look, the more we find that we are out of touch.Prints:making
PRINTS:Making is an exhibition curated by 2017 Hope graduate Kathleen Kooiker examining the techniques that have established the foundations for printmaking, the baseline from which the experimental practice continues to grow. The show will display 45 relief, intaglio and planographic prints divided into their respective categories to reveal the fundamental differences in each approach.
Jamia | Studio
Jamia | Studio, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by faculty member Katherine Sullivan, juxtaposes different cultural and period-specific painting methods to reflect shifting power dynamics.

Distant Tracings // Tracing Distance
Distant Tracings // Tracing Distance explores concepts of connection and separation. The closeness of personal relationships can be thwarted by physical distance, emotional barriers, the passing of time and the method of communication. What role does technology play in facilitating or frustrating our connections? What types of metaphors are apparent in the natural world to expand our understanding of connection and separation? How can our effort to follow, touch, explore and remember change the meaning of what we experience?
2017 Borgeson Artist in Residence Show: Out of nature
Out of Nature is an exhibition of recent works by artist Nancy McCormack. The exhibition features prints, paintings and sculptural installations on walls and floors. The works deal with intercultural miscommunication, migration, pattern, reproduction, appropriation and conflict. McCormack鈥檚 work often addresses issues of constructed identity and personal development. Here she broadens her focus and reflects on the role of the natural world, our influence on it and its ability to affect cultural change.

Work Day
Katie Wynne's work is a stage for exuberance and abandon, a panic of scavenged colors and forms cut from an American landscape. Through mixed media sculpture and installations, familiar objects are displaced and redefined in an escape attempt from the ordinary, exploring life at its most imprudent and most tenders.
440
The title of the exhibition derives from 440 hertz, the musical note that since 1936 has been broadcast shortly after the top of the hour by WWV and WWVH, which are shortwave radio stations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, to aid orchestras in tuning their instruments.

Beauty, Joy, and Wonder
Weber says in her artist statement that she began working with cardboard in 1991. 鈥淐ardboard allows me to make monumental, yet lightweight forms, and eliminate the cumbersome process of clay. My abstract sculptures read as metaphors for life experiences, such as the balancing acts that define our lives. 鈥楬ow far can I build this before it collapses?鈥� is a question on my mind as I work.鈥�

Senior Show: Wherefore Art?
An exhibition of work by graduating seniors majoring in art and art history at Hope College will open in the gallery of the De Pree Art Center on Friday, March 31, with a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Needle Art: A Postmodern Sewing Circle
The needle is an ancient and universal tool, and an evolutionary thread connects the artists in this exhibition with their historical past. Some use the sewing machine, a tool that merges artistic creation with commercial production and precision. Other artists are laptop sewers, accomplishing their work stitch by stitch. The artists in this postmodern sewing circle use familiar techniques - embroidery, quilting, beadwork and upholstery - in a very contemporary way. But though the methods may be traditional, the materials range from gingham and organza to beach towels, Styrofoam, cornhusks and even baseballs.
Cultural Reflections
Twentieth-century Inuit art from the Canadian Arctic reveals the evolution of a dynamic culture still in process. It is a reflection of life on the land; a record of daily events, a glimpse into a magico-religious spiritual belief system. It is a visual narrative which serves as a vehicle for keeping alive the old ways; the old life of skin tents and snow houses, the nomadic life when seasonal hunting dictated lifestyle and, in essence, survival.
juried student show with guest juror jeremy jernegan
A total of 27 students have pieces in the exhibition. Works range from traditional media such as drawing, photography and painting, to multimedia sculptural installations. All Hope students were eligible to submit work in any media. Jeremy Jernegan, professor of art at Tulane University, juried the exhibition.
New Watercolors of the hope college campus
McCombs's watercolors fit into the photorealist tradition. The works are not "views" in the traditional sense of visual records of the buildings. Rather, they are excerpted details and surprising perspectives, sometimes of small or inconspicuous minutiae.
Ryan Spencer Reed: The Sudan Project
Reed will deliver a guest lecture in advance of the symposium, speaking on Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 1 p.m. in the gallery of the De Pree Art Center.
Through A Glass Clearly
This event is the first monographic exhibition of work by Vander Burgh, who was born in 1916 and died on March 31, 2004.
