Join us for the closing reception of Materio-mancy, followed by an artist talk moderated by Ricky Parker, Curator at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, and Taro Cantú, Independent Curator.

Featuring participating artists Alexander D’Agostino, Lehna Huie, G. Pack, VILLAGER, Winter Dior Hart, Jasmeen Al Rayyes, and Anna Divinagracia, the conversations will explore material as medium, memory, archive, and magic, with artists reflecting on the processes, histories, and intentions embedded within their practices.

Materio-mancy: a group exhibition guest-curated by Nigerian-born Transdisciplinary artist and Cultural Producer VILLAGER brings together seven (7) artists currently living and working in Baltimore City into a shared nexus of alchemical inquiry where material sensitivity operates congruently as method and magic, and contemporary urgencies meet historical continuities. Drawing upon a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, assemblage, and installation, the participating artists invite the viewers to embrace, sense, and bear witness to the energy and the magic embedded in the material and the metaphysical, respective and independent of each artist’s temporal and spatial understanding of their practice of alertness which holds time and gesture beyond the body and space itself as divinatory alchemy.
