Now that she’s dead, Penelope thinks she knows everything. Yet, as she tries to recount her life with her husband Odysseus, her cousin Helen of Troy, her child, her suitors, and her maids, she struggles to understand her life. Through songs and stories, Penelope’s world ravels and unravels around her. And through acts of devotion, her maids end up suffering the most. Acclaimed writer Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale, takes a footnote in Homer's ODYSSEY—the murder of Penelope's maids—and creates a world of beauty and pain on stage.

Join us for a captivating exhibition, open from October 14th to November 25th!

Somewhere Else: Leila McConnell and Melinda Laszczynski, curated by Melissa L. Mednicov, features two artists who use abstraction to create meditative paintings that challenge art historical concepts of landscape and representation. McConnell, in her abstract paintings, creates ethereal and otherworldly glimpses which invite the viewer to stay and look. Her paintings offer the possibility, through her formal acumen, of momentary explorations of worlds seen and unseen. Laszczynski, through her adventurous exploitation of painting and mass culture’s debris such as paint skins, glitter, and lenticular and holographic materials, challenges (and exploits) the norms of formalism in painting, while also bringing the viewer towards new ways of seeing and being. Her lenticular and holographic materials transform the viewer’s relationship to the work and the space within which they behold it.
