In the Flesh 3

In the Flesh 3 explores the deep-seeded relationship between humanity and art. The selected works represent a broad range of formal qualities, techniques, and points of view. Some artists make statements about the human body in a social context through provocative images. Others use flesh as a medium, or utilize objects to symbolize aspects of the human condition. Individually the pieces tell their own story; in unison they create a cohesive narrative that makes a case for the relevance of figural imagery in contemporary art.

Our juror for this exhibit is Dr. Jamie Smith curator and partner of Connor Contemporary in Washington DC and Co-Director of (e)merge Art Fair. This year’s selected artists from around the world are: Geoff Ault; Diane Bronstein; Ceci Cole McInturff; Parrish Cooper; Matthew J. Davey; Alfredo de Matteis; Jason J. Ferguson; Francine Gintoff; Victoria Goro-Rapoport; Soomin Ham; Devan King; Alexandre Murucci; Alison Oakes; Judith Peck; Gina Phillips; Ann Piper; Michael Reedy; Charlie Roberts; Nadine Robbins; Aric Sites; and Denise Stewart-Sanabria.

Please join us on June 9 from 6-8pm for a reception to celebrate the artists and listen to a special gallery talk by our juror, Dr. Jamie Smith.
