CURRENT:
Algorithmia
Amy Vensel Opening Reception: Friday June 13, 6-8pm Closing Reception: Friday July 11, 6-8pm 1411 4th St, 218 Algorithmia is an exhibition of paintings by Las Cruces-based artist Amy Vensel that highlight the divisions in society driven by social media. Derived from a combination of “algorithm” and “arrhythmia,” Algorithmia reflects on how algorithms manipulating data can distort facts and heighten divisions, causing a lack of harmony and rhythm. Much like people can have two different conclusions based on the source of their information as presented by an algorithm, the paintings in this exhibition present two related but divergent elements divided by a black band, as if the two sides are distorted reflections of the same idea or event. |
UPCOMING:
Ghost of a Chance
Hilary Nelson Opening Reception: Friday July 11, 6-9pm Closing Reception: Friday August 1, 6-9pm at Fourteenfifteen Gallery 1415 4th St SW Hilary Nelson’s work explores the paradox implicit in the idea of something being “finished”. When does “usefulness” end? Nelson’s process involves compulsively sourcing scraps and leftovers from industry and day to day consumption, or recycling parts of old work, giving each of the pieces many lives. This working method underscores the transitory nature of the artwork, and substantiates a desire to question the role of an artist in capitalism, consumption, and waste. |
Temporary Headquarters
In November 2024, a fire started in the alley behind Fourteenfifteen, Alpaca, and The Minnow. The fire was put out quickly and most of the structures are intact, but the building will require major renovations before we can return. Though the timeline for repairs is unclear, Homewise will ensure that the building is restored in time.
For now we are grateful to be in our new temporary headquarters right next to our original location and above The Streetfood Institute’s Barelas Community Kitchen at 1411 4th St. We look forward to continuing to build community with our neighbors and to see the exciting things they have on the horizon.
We wouldn’t have been able to get back on our feet without you, and we know that all our work moving forward will continue to be in collaboration with and for our community.
