The show brings together artists whose practices share a common thread – an engagement with material exploration and a free, gerund, process-oriented approach to finding and making simultaneously. The exhibition frames this through the lens of “flow state” as described by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: the absorbed, generative condition that emerges when a practice is fully inhabited.

Anna Kunz received an MFA from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL and a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL. Kunz participated as an artist-in-residence in the Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Program, Brooklyn, NY; The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME, and the Monira Foundation at Mana Contemporary, New Jersey. He work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in the public collections. Recent nominations include The Joan Mitchell Foundation and Anonymous was a Woman. Kunz lives and works in Buchanan, Michigan.
Carie Lassman is a Chicago-based painter consumed by color relationships, line, and surface history. Her work hovers somewhere between abstraction and representation—suggestions of landscapes, architecture, plaid—exploring how physical and emotional structures can both support and constrain, where messy personal histories are caught within structural systems. Each painting is a physical record of its own making.
