CAERULEA: Catherine Druken + Zoë Wyner

**CAERULEA: Paintings & Clay by Catherine Druken and Zoë Wyner**
**Opening Reception: Friday, April 26th | 6:00 - 8:00 PM**
**Exhibition: April 26th – May 24th, 2024**
World’s Fair Gallery is excited to present CAERULEA, Paintings & Clay by Catherine Druken and Zoë Wyner. We cordially invite you to the opening reception on Friday, April 26th, from 6-8 PM. This is Catherine and Zoë’s second exhibition at WFG, and we are thrilled to have you join us for this special occasion.
Little Bitte will delight us with delicious bites and sips. We hope you will join us!
**CAERULEA** is the third collection of works by Catherine Druken and Zoë Wyner. Like their earlier collaborations, CAERULEA brings to life reimagined iterations of folk imagery, drawing from their shared Ukrainian lineage. Inspired by the Delftware of the 17th century, Catherine Druken has infused Zoe Wyner’s ceramic works with signs of spring and simple domestic pleasures. The blue of CAERULEA furthers their mutual tendency to merge the old with the new; antiquities modernized. [Spring 2024]

**Jonathan Pitts-Wiley, Jonathan Watanabe & Victoria Wolf**
**Opening Reception: Thursday, September 28, 2023 | 6:00 - 8:00 PMc**
**Exhibition: September 18 - December 21, 2023.**
World’s Fair Gallery is pleased to present ALL THE WORLDS, featuring photography by
Jonathan Pitts-Wiley, earthenware vessels by Victoria Wolf and glass blown by Jonathan
Watanabe of Studio Watanabe. All three artists are working with light and holding,
but with wild variations in approach. Jonathan Pitts-Wiley’s fine art portraiture
and documentary photography pay homage to life, creating opportunities for the viewer
to wonder. Through his background in theater, Pitts-Wiley creates conditions for his
photographs in which people can experience authentic responses, making his images a
generous extension of his own history. These photographs are vessels of moments, of
individuals, and of lives. Pitts-Wiley creates such a stillness in his portraits that a
moment can absorb time— a small piece of a vaster cycle through which to attain presence.
Everyone— subject, photographer, and viewer— has the opportunity to feel something.
The [mostly] black and white photographs are complemented by Studio Watanabe’s
luminescent glassworks, a collection that not only filters and distorts natural
light, but, in some cases, is wired to emit its own; and Victoria Wolf’s elemental
ceramics, which hold in them as much a sense of place as they do a vacancy to be
filled. Please join us at WFG for the opening reception on
Thursday, September 28th from 6-8pm.
This event is free and open to the public.
