OLLY GREER
TRANIFESTATIONS
UN:COVER :: RE:MEMBER
Reception: 6:00-9:00 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29

Sept. 29-Oct. 20

Tranifestations is a solo exhibition/installation by Olly Greer. Within the space, care is a medium, and trans magic is honored through Olly’s menagerie of materials. Their installation saddles joy on top of grief and melts it back into joy through a cycle of un:covering and re:membering. This work is made by trans hands for trans folx, while all are welcome to come feel the glow and take time to be enveloped by this inward turning space titled on a very gay axis.

Artist Talk: 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19

Artist Bio

Olly is a material based sculptor and installation artist who has both hands in many pots, alchemizing and stirring—allowing slow time to seep into everything they do. They shape-shift and morph mediums—blending collage into clay, creating fires of wax puddles on used placemats, finding power in charged objects from their own childhood and other’s to serve as props, plinths, conduits.
