Gallery 1 Soli Pierce:
unEARTHED
Soli Pierce, Summit II, 2025, Petrified wood, stone, ceramic, 12.5 in. x 12.5 in. x 6 in.
Inspired by the natural world's inherent balance and mystery, the work in unEARTHED bridges personal and environmental narratives and invites viewers to contemplate the interplay of origins, connectivity, and spiritual introspection. Here, Pierce presents sculptures created with reclaimed industrial materials, extracted petrified wood, and encaustics, as well as long-exposure landscape photographs and monoprints on handmade paper. Overall, her choice of materials and subject reflects her commitment to bring awareness to the disappearing natural world and climate issues.
About the artist: Soli Pierce is an interdisciplinary artist whose work merges the exploration of light, time, and nature through a diverse range of media. Pierce was a 2025 artist-in-residence at KinoSaito Arts Center. Her recent Sound Forest installation series, in collaboration with sonic artist Bruce Odland, was supported by multiple grants and presented at the Hammond Museum, ArtsWestchester, and KinoSaito. Pierce was recently awarded a 2025 Jentel Artist Residency in Wyoming. She has exhibited widely in the U.S., and internationally in London and Venice, and was awarded a stipend for large installations in Germany, including Saatchi and Arts Electronica.
Gallery 2 George Kimmerling + Linda Lauro-Lazin: Trace Element
From left: Linda Lauro-Lazin, Threshold drawings: 38 levels (years) letting go, 2025, archival pigment print, 36 in. x 24 in. George Kimmerling, Untitled, No. 48, 2025 (common mugwort), archival pigment print, 20 in. 16 in.
Trace Element brings together the photography-based work of artists George Kimmerling and Linda Lauro-Lazin in an exhibition that offers a moving meditation on natural cycles, the multi-sensory experience of plants, and the ability to find hope in the darkest days. Kimmerling's photographs are from his 2025 series "…the vitality of what will be…," created while wandering gardens in January looking for plants that had held their own against whatever winter hurled at them. As winter wore on, the project became a way to cope with a growing post-inaugural despondence and see the world on a scale larger than the daily news cycle. Lauro-Lazin's work in Trace Element began in 2020 on the eve of the pandemic, during her Wave Hill Winter Workspace Residency, where she examined the ephemeral nature of certain night-blooming flowers and transfigures the blurred edge between blossoming and fading. Her work here includes archival pigment prints and interactive animations.
About the artists: George Kimmerling uses photography to inquire about our experience and perception of place, the construction of memory and identity, and the relationship between public and private spheres. He earned his MFA in photography at RISD, attended the Whitney Independent Study program, and has had residencies at PS1/MoMA and the MacDowell Colony. His work has been shown at the Cooper Hewitt, the New Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, among numerous venues in the U.S. and internationally. Linda Lauro-Lazinis a visual artist, an educator, and a technologist, developing a vernacular of digital mark-making and abstraction that conflates analog and digital painting. She is the Assistant Chair of the Department of Digital Arts in the School of Art at Pratt Institute. Lauro-Lazin is a Fulbright Scholar and the recipient of the Wave Hill Winter Workspace Residency and Fondation Karolyi Residency. Her work has been exhibited widely, including at BAU Gallery, the Knockdown Center, and the Dorsky Museum. She received an MFA from Pratt Institute and an MA from New York Institute of Technology.
Beacon Room Daniel Berlin + Friends: Intermediaries
Daniel Berlin, Four Elements, 2025, oil on wood, 16 in. x 16 in.
Daniel Berlin, Tharpa Dawa, Jinpa Ser~o, and Garlic Woods have been friends for more than 40 years, sharing mutual interests and inspiring each other through their own particular journeys. This exhibit brings the group together for a unique look into their aligned pursuits.
About the artist: Daniel Berlin's primary ongoing artistic concern is to work directly with minimal conceptual underpinnings or sidetracks such as irony or satire. He is often driven to imply a "center"—an inner quality felt in the work. He generally seeks a complex simplicity with no final definitions that can ensnare and to operate with a kind of "relaxed urgency"—an almost carefree approach but with an intuitive discernment at work. With an aspiration to be playful, disciplined and inscrutable while acknowledging the fragile nature of reality—that is the buoyant groundlessness at play. Berlin received double B.S. degrees in both Painting and Psychology from Illinois State University and an MFA degree in Fine Arts (Painting) from the University of Colorado. He is primarily a painter as well as an avid practitioner of monotyping. Berlin received a NYFA fellowship in sculpture in 1988.
