‘Holding Space: Grounded’ features 27 Chicago based artists and is curated by Elephant Room Gallery Co-Owner and Director, Kim Leja Atwood. The exhibition explores what it means to hold space and feel grounded in a world that often feels overwhelming. Join us for the closing reception and a last chance to view these powerful works, meet some of the artists and enjoy refreshments.
Holding Space: Grounded is a group exhibition that reflects on the ways we navigate both internal and external pressures. To hold space is a reminder to pause, adjust, and connect with others or return to ourselves. Through diverse perspectives, the artists in this exhibition translate a moment of stillness into visual form. The idea of being grounded evokes different things for different people; a place of refuge, a fleeting moment, a remembered presence, a repetitive action, an emotional state. Each artwork created becomes an interpretation of what it means to hold space and be grounded; inhaling, exhaling, being present. The creative process in itself can be an act of grounding – making room for reflection, restoration, and connection. In bringing these works together, Holding Space: Grounded explores both the healing process of making and the object that remains.
Exhibiting artists include Abraham, Andy Bellomo, Braimah Lawal, Brian Dovie Golden, Chantala Kommanivanh, Cujo Dah, Cydney M. Lewis, Czr Prz, Danny J Martinez, Darin Latimer, Delisha, Fantasía Ariel, George Keaton, Ish Muhammad, James Nelson, Jamiah Calvin, Jennifer Cronin, Justin Suico, Keelan McMorrow, Lo Marie, Mimi Zaphiratos, Myron Laban, Rae Denise, Rine Boyer, Shanna Zentner, Tyler Bernard Anthony and Zor Zor Zor.
