Vernissage / Meyer Riegger
Friday 20th November – 6pm
On the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia a scraggly stand of trees bisects the facade and the entrance to the Best Products Company „Forest Showroom,“ a structure designed by James Wines of SITE architects in the waning decades of the 20th century. Under the care and management of the Presbyterian Church since 1999, Forest Showroom now serves as a sanctuary for refugees, a holy site, and a space of exchange in the form of a food bank. Scottish artist Scott Myles draws inspiration from this repurposed building, the practice of exchange, and the act of donation as a point of departure for Spiral Bound, an exhibition featuring canvases depicting images of goods from the food bank overlayed with photographs from the Forest Showroom, images from Wines’ own home, the Best Products Company Archive, and a Wines’ designed wedding chapel in Vegas. The resulting series enters into a complex meditation on the transactional economy, the meaning of objects, and obsolescence both planned and unplanned.

Saturday 21st November – 7pm until 10pm
Muddying the liminal space between man and beast, male and female, mind and body, self and other, Hannah James‘ solo exhibition Can’t you see how big those snails are? offers up sculpture, installation, and film that cross borders and expand horizons both formal and conceptual. Frank, daring, and ferociously whimsical, James‘ disparate works come together in a sublime interrogation of the real and the imaginary.
