In Seven Contemplations, Caledonia Curry infuses often difficult aspects of her personal journey with a spirit of generosity to offer a model of how pushing through the discomfort of challenges may lead toward healing.
Caledonia Curry, known to her friends as Callie and to the art world as Swoon, has transformed Container into an open and meditative environment featuring a number of her large-scale sculptural installations as well as her first stop-motion animation video. Beyond these individual objects, the artist is interested in establishing spaces of empathy with a compassionate eye toward greater understanding and creating positive impact in the lives of her audiences. In Seven Contemplations, the artist infuses often difficult aspects of her personal journey with a spirit of generosity to offer a model of how pushing through the discomfort of challenges may lead toward healing. This exhibition includes major parts of the original exhibition at the Albright-Knox Gallery in 2020. This exhibition was originally organized by AKG Curator of Public Art Aaron Ott.
