Dreamsong

DREAMSONG is pleased to present Reunion, the gallery’s third solo exhibition with California-born, St. Paul-based artist Kristen Sanders. Continuing Sanders’ ongoing exploration of life’s primordial origins, Reunion ponders the evolution of biological consciousness in moonlit paintings of fossils, skulls, seashells and other remnants of existence. The exhibition also marks Dreamsong's first presentation of the artist's ceramic sculptures. Lending dimensionality to her paintings’ aqueous environments, sinuous kelp fronds, limpets and tendrils of seaweed are glazed in seafoam green, russet red and sandy brown.

Taking Arakawa + Gins concept of Reversible Destiny as a prompt for an exhibition at Dreamsong, we invited artists to make and present works that play with the limits of everyday functional design and apparel. Cognizant of the influence of our lived environments on our collective consciousness, the exhibition challenges the homogeneity, grayscaling and mass-produced automatizations of the built environment and fast fashion, embracing bold color and labor-intensive craft.
