CURIOUS MATTER PRESENTS
RAYMOND E. MINGST’S Banderoles, the Apophatic Sky, and the Memorializing Artifact
The contemporary art gallery and project space Curious Matter presents Banderoles, the Apophatic Sky, and the Memorializing Artifact, a work in progress by Raymond E. Mingst.
The exhibition includes a range of media including photographs, painting and sculpture. The exhibition opened with a reception for the artist on Sunday, September 22, 2024.
FROM THE ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
“The sky serves as a place to focus contemplation, to seek answers, guidance, and solace. Our skyward gaze
frames our most profound moments of existential contemplation.
Henry David Thoreau’s reflections in Walden evoke this constitutive human experience—
”The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment?” This meditation on the sky resonates with the way in which we dream of connections that extend beyond our immediate reality.
“At the heart of my work is an attempt to articulate what is missing
remain mute, a physical manifestation of the unspeakable—what can no longer be said because the voices have been silenced. Yet, they remain present, floating in the gallery space or hovering over paintings of the sky, signaling their presence in the aether.
“This work in progress, and these banderoles, serve as meditations on loss, language, and our need to communicate—even when what we most need to say has no words. They represent a signal in the aether, an attempt to connect with an erased history, and the hope that, somehow, the echoes of those lost voices might still be heard.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
as a result of the HIV/ AIDS pandemic, a tragedy that decimated a generation of creative gay men—artists, writers, thinkers, collectors, appreciators. Their absence is a void in our cultural history, a devastating fracture. Banderoles, traditionally depicted as scrolllike elements used in art since the medieval period to display text or speech, appear in my current work and float without text. They reference an empty space, and an attempt to hear from the cosmos which returns only silence.
“These banderoles are intentionally untethered from speech. While traditionally associated with the delivery of words, my banderoles

ART HOUSE GALLERY PRESENTS “HOME”
Art House Productions (Executive Artistic Director
Meredith Burns and Gallery Director Andrea McKenna) are excited to present “Home,” a group exhibit curated by Gallery Director Andrea McKenna. The exhibit will run from Saturday, October 5th through Sunday, October 27th, with an Artist’s Reception on Sunday, October 13th, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The gallery will be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. For personalized viewings, appointments can be arranged by contacting gallery@arthouseproductions.org.
Artists included in this exhibit are: Janet Boltax, Greg Brickey,
Doris Cacoilo, Mary Jean Canziani, Andrea Epstein, Cheryl Gross, Mark Kurdziel, Tina Maneca, and Jen Morris.
“Home suggests that home isn’t necessarily a physical place but rather a feeling or state of being where one feels loved, comfortable, and at peace. It implies that true ‘home’ is wherever you feel a strong emotional connection, whether that’s with people, places, or experiences. It’s about the warmth, love, and sense of belonging you associate with certain relationships or environments, rather than just the physical location,” explains Andrea McKenna, Gallery
Director and Curator of the exhibit. “The artists in this show explore these themes in unique and personal ways, inviting viewers to reflect on what ‘home’ means to them.”
Large print literature and tactile and descriptive tours are available upon request. Email Andrea McKenna for more information at gallery@arthouseproductions.org.
