THE EVERYMAN

“The Everyman” is a group show curated by Lisa Alley inspired by revelations of the grandiose and the exceptional that permeate life’s subtler moments, with works spanning artistic mediums in celebration of the often overlooked rhythms of the commonplace. The showcase pays homage to the archetypal Everyman, who since the ages of Medieval theater has served to usher in a contemporary and populist vision of the human spirit, forging narratives from the materials of everyday existence as a gateway to something more profound. Grappling with themes of memory, mortality, and legacy, “The Everyman” takes a deeply humanistic view of its cast of working class heroes, unearthing the moments of transcendence undergirding their daily toils and triumphs.

Running May 15th - June 7th, the show will feature work by nine artists across mediums with paintings by a. Savage (of Parquet Courts, a. Savage band), Lisa Alley (of The Well, Mugger, TV’s Daniel), Jenny Lane, Brock Caron, and Sydney Guzman (also on view solo at Ivester Contemporary through May 24th), photography by Pooneh Ghana and Darrin Commerford / Showpony Photography, and ceramics by Hope Hummingbird and Emily No Good (of the band Never).
