Johnson’s exhibition STAND UP features large-format mixed media drawings that illustrate fantastical vignettes that speak to current events and contemporary politics/politicians through a series of provocative ahistorical fictions.

Susanne Slavick’s exhibition up in the air, in deep water, on shaky ground includes mixed media paintings and digital collages that reflect on the precarity of migration, and the evolving welcome migrants have received in the US and elsewhere.
