Unframed is an art exhibition that will present a selection of works on paper unframed, directly on the gallery walls to explore the materiality and diversity of the media. Removing the frame allows a more immediate and intimate interaction with the entirety of the work, and emphasizes the tactility of the material.

“Expanding and releasing the paper from its constraining structure often creates visual, as well as structural problems within the work,” said Elaine Sapochetti, one of the artists featured in the exhibition. “Yet, challenging these restrictions also makes the development of the art endlessly exhilarating and the completed work always a surprise. Just as in life, pushing boundaries can frequently lead to new, complicated, exciting, and inspiring revelations.”

Selected artists include Sandra Baker, Jessica Beck, Antonio Cardoso, Heidi Caswell Zander, Daniel Feldman, Sarah Friedman, Lisa Goren, Hillary Irvine, Allison Jané, Leonie Little-Lex, Ted Ollier, Ponnapa Prakkamakul, Elaine Sapochetti, Patty Stone, Ellen Stutman and Michael Yefko.

A reception for the exhibition will be held Friday, June 22 from 6:00-8:00pm.
