Pose/Repose

Open March 5, 2026 – April 18, 2026

The Art Gallery at Congdon Yards is excited to announce our newest exhibit, Pose / Repose, featuring the artwork of Michael Ananien, Mary Lee Kerr, and Gadisse Lee. This exhibition brings together figurative works that rely on specific and meticulous posing of the human form to convey meaning and energetic nuance. It explores the expressive potential of the physical body through works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture. The exhibit considers the dual meaning of repose by examining each artist’s subtle, repeated manipulation of their figures’ postures, as well as by including a range of reclining forms that highlight how meaning shifts when a figure is recumbent.
