SUMMARY:Karolina Wojtas: Made In Poland Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:January 22 – March 6\, 2026 | Kathleen O. Ellis Gallery\, Light Work\nOpening Reception: January 22\, 5-7 PM \nMade in Poland\, Karolina Wojtas’ first U.S. solo exhibition\, unfolds like a care package sent to America—one filled with the absurd\, the folkish\, and the wonderfully weird cultural treasures of Poland. The exhibition features a dynamic mix of fabric prints\, soft sculptures\, and traditional photographs that play with form while drawing on everyday observations\, childhood memories\, and the oddities of growing up. Wojtas’ project becomes a journey through education\, family relationships\, and first loves—infused throughout with nostalgia\, humor\, and a generous dose of self-irony.

SUMMARY:We're Just Here for the Bad Guys: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:March 20–May 22\, 2026\nKathleen O. Ellis Gallery\nReception: Thurs\, March 26\, 5-7pm \nWe’re Just Here for the Bad Guys chronicles Brian Van Lau’s relationship with his estranged father. Lau’s father was absent during his childhood due to his incarceration. After his release\, he rebuilt his life in Vietnam\, remarried\, and gradually disappeared from Lau’s life. Nearly a decade later\, Lau traveled to Vietnam following his father’s sudden illness\, and learned of his terminal cancer. During their final week together\, they collaborated on a photographic project that documented his father’s unsuccessful path toward recovery. After his father’s passing\, Lau returned to his hometown in Hawai‘i seeking closure\, uncovering hidden correspondence that revealed previously unknown parts of his father’s life. Entrusted with dispersing his father’s ashes across O‘ahu\, the artist began working with his grandparents to reconstruct this fragmented family history through photography.

SUMMARY:Oracle in the Aperture: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:March 20–May 22\, 2026\nJeffrey J. Hoone Gallery\nReception: Thurs\, March 26\, 5-7pm \nArcanite Pictures was started to highlight emerging artists\, emphasizing the personal narrative angle and diaristic storytelling in photography. Through online features and group shows\, a library of small personal projects began to build\, and\, excitingly\, as more people were invited to share their work\, a lineage and an echoing formed\, discoveries were made\, and the distance between people diminished as a web of connections was established. The pictures shared constituted a language\, and a portal to the various practices now joined across different cities\, subcultures\, and decades-old archives. For Oracle in the Aperture\, artists were selected to join with peers\, personal influences\, and emerging lens-based artists to amplify and enhance each other’s stories\, emphasizing interpersonal and private relationships and the talismanic ability of photography to illuminate familial and gestural scenes. \n-Brian Van Lau \nExhibiting artists: Walker Bankson\, Bryan Birks\, Marisa Chaftez\, Luis Manuel Diaz\, Paloma Dooley\, Hannah Edelman\, Ryan Frigillana\, Sabrina Giacomaggio\, Stephen Ross Goldstein\, Phoebe Shuman Goodier\, Lexi Hide\, Jasmine Huang\, Jeffrey Jin\, Tommy Keith\, Ian Kline\, Joe Leavenworth\, Jinyong Lian\, Chika Winston Ma\, Jordan Monloire\, Ricardo Nagaoka\, Pete Pin\, Ian Ritter\, Dylan Safranek\, Ian Sherlock Molloy\, Ian Edward White\, Kevin Williamson
