THE JONES INSTITUTE + STUDIO AHEAD
AT MSP & THE MOTHERSHIP

Studio AHEAD and The Jones Institute present a new exhibition of:

Nathan Lynch (clay)
John Gnorski (woodblock, paper)
& Jessica Switzer Green (wool)

Each artist’s work represents the places where they were made and also reflects the lifestyles and practices of those who made them.

From his studio in San Geronimo, Lynch creates clay sculptures at once alluring and strange, and looking like they're melting back into the earth they were molded from. These works, display a humorous acceptance of decay and folly.

In Gnorski's woodblock prints, figures sleep in flower beds and dream idly; while his lanterns, made of washi paper, illuminate the passing of the day as they alight on bed stands.

Jessica Switzer Green lives among the sheep pastures of Sonoma. Her woolworks, including a series furniture designed by Studio AHEAD, also on display, use the woolen fleece of her flocks. Leaving in the natural textures and tones of each season's wool, their unprocessed state reminds us of our ancient bond with the animal world.

This exhibition is split between The Jones Institute, where the commissioned pieces are, and The Jones Institute at Minnesota Street Project, where the above film by Pavló Fedorov revealing the intimacies of art making was screened.
