Gracie Moon and Sean Sarmiento: 'All the Places We Belong'
Collage artist Sean Sarmiento and sculptor and artist Gracie Moon are the current Emerging Artists in Residence at Arts District Liberty Station. To commemorate their residency, Gallery 201 is hosting a dual exhibition, "All the Places We Belong."
Sarmiento's collages are sculptural while also being strikingly minimal, often using sparse text and Polaroids. One of Moon's works in the show is a series of massive chains suspended from the walls — almost like giant-sized beaded necklaces. Each "bead" is a Jell-O mold filled with Japanese snack wrappers set in colorful resin. Curated by The Hill Street Country Club's Dinah Poellnitz, this unique space is open every day.
An artist reception will be held during the First Friday event, from 4 to 8 p.m. on March 7.
