Bodies of Time

December 20-22, 2025

Opening

Thursday, December 20, 6-8 pm

Closing

Saturday, November 22, 3-5 pm

An artist’s body of work is a temporal thing: it’s proof that she was there in the studio, over hours and days and months, making. But beyond simply being selections from each such “body of time”, the works in this show are directly concerned with the interplay of time and body. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, video sculpture, and installation, the artists interrogate the physical body as made of or by time, or conversely, a period of time as a physical presence.

Guest Speakers + Visiting Critics

Each semester, Sara Jimenez's Cohort received Artist Talks, Lectures, Workshops and Visiting Critiques from an esteemed roster of Guest Artists + Speakers.
