This event has ended.

Borderline brings together four artists working in a space Fabienne Lasserre refers to as the “excluded middle.” Bonnie Collura, Alex Ebstein, Fabienne Laserre, and Adia Millett create works that ask us to question the language of abstraction. Classifying them as painters or sculptors is reductive. Their materials and formal choices are purposeful, born of art history and mindful of the histories of feminism and craft. They employ sewn, layered, quilted, and wrapped elements in their anthropomorphic works, allowing the results to exist in-between classically defined categories. More specifically, their confident use of materials such as fabric, yoga mats, vinyl, and steel questions hierarchies assumed by art history, pop culture, and politics, while addressing the contemporary spotlight on gender and power.

About the Curators:
The Remix is a project-based curatorial team, established to exhibit the work of underrepresented artists. Founded in 2017 by three former colleagues from Mixed Greens gallery—Heather Bhandari, Courtney Colman, and Steven Sergiovanni—it strives to create and promote new platforms that foster transparency, community, generosity, and the sharing of resources among artists and arts workers alike.
