Rackley Dads Desk 01

Gallery One

“When we remember an event, we sometimes see it from the third-person point of view instead of through our own eyes. In that case, we become a witness to the event rather than the person directly experiencing the event, which affects how we narrate the memory. In my installations, I want viewers to feel as though they are shifting between being inside of and outside of a memory. By experiencing this perceptual shift, I hope viewers become aware of how they reconstruct and retell their own recollections.”

Chris Cinque Respiration V

Riverview Gallery

“My work has always been driven by a desire to create a place of freedom for myself and for all those who consider themselves outsiders. Today (and really always), we find ourselves in a moment of cataclysm and upheaval, not by accident but as a result of the crushing limitations and controls set by centuries of patriarchal governance. A world that insists on binary thought—white/ black, good/bad, male/female—stifles who we truly are and what we can become: beautifully multi-layered and multifaceted, distinct yet cohesive.”

— Chris Cinque (Minneapolis, MN)

Quednau IMG 5794

Atrium Gallery

“Although I strive to make imagery that is accurate, the nature of ‘realism’ perplexes me. What does it mean for art to be ‘realistic’? In this work, I am trying to sidestep the parallel universe that such a question implies by physically representing small bits of imagined space in diorama form. It is my hope to create work that will inspire curiosity and self-reflection. I want to engage viewers of all ages and experiences in my small worlds.”

— Howard Quednau (Minneapolis, MN)
