UPCOMING
The Rose
CPW, Kingston, NY
May 24 – August 31, 2025
Opening reception: Saturday, May 24, 2025, 5-8 PM
Curated by Justine Kurland and Marina Chao
The exhibition The Rose, organized by artist Justine Kurland and CPW curator Marina Chao, is a sprawling exploration of collage as feminist form, strategy, and genealogy. It includes works by fifty contemporary artists, as well as several key figures from the 1960s and ’70s.
Radical and political by its cut-apart and dissonant nature, collage, as curator Justine Kurland writes, “urges us to honor revision and reprisal as correctives for the skewed lenses that distort our worldview.” In this context, art-making is highlighted as an iterative process where one thing turns into another, replacing hierarchies with cyclical, organic, and revolutionary energy.
The artists in The Rose use archival materials, family photographs, vernacular imagery, paint, scraps of paper, ceramics, textiles, film, and more as their material—cutting, ripping, and rending apart the whole, necessitating the reparative act of gluing, binding, and assembling things into a new unity. And yet their work moves beyond violent refusal; its energy, mysticism, and eroticism are transformative, helping us to imagine new ways forward.

Artists include: Vija Celmins, Jay DeFeo, Leslie Hewitt, Joiri Minaya, Wangechi Mutu, Frida Orupabo, Gina Osterloh, Wendy Red Star, Deborah Roberts, Lorna Simpson, Gwen Smith, Pamela Sneed, Rachelle Anayansi Mozman Solano, Hannah Wilke, and Francesca Woodman. This exhibition is curated by Justine Kurland and Marina Chao. The Rose was originally curated by Justine Kurland, Sarah Miller Meigs, and Libby Werbel for the lumber room in Portland, Oregon. It is accompanied by the publication The Rose: A Circular Genealogy of Collage (lumber room, 2025).

Hair tied together, embodied we speak
Pinagtaling buhok, kinatawang bigkas
February 15 - April 27, 2025
Calle Wright, 1890 Vasquez St, Malate, Manila, 1004 Metro Manila, Philippines
Artists: Patricia Perez Eustaquio, Wawi Navarroza, Gina Osterloh, Nurul Huda Rashid, Stephanie Syjuco, Isola Tong, Yee I-Lann
Exhibition co-organized by Gina Osterloh (Calle Wright Artist-in-Residence) and Gary-Ross Pastrana (Calle Wright Program Director)
Abaca rope, rattan, batik, glass, feathers, her body– photography, sculpture, sound. The artists in Pinagtaling buhok, kinatawang bigkas / Hair tied together, embodied we speak offer an artistic scaffold to navigate our fragile and tremendous world. Patricia Perez Eustaquio’s abaca rope sculpture created for Calle Wright shares methods of sustenance and intergenerational connection through labor intensive process, material, and forms creating dialogue with past, present, future. Isola Tong’s outdoor sculpture utilizes methods available throughout millennia. Tong’s site-specific woven nest in the garden of Calle Wright
embraces architectures shared in nature and indigenous Filipino culture. Nurul Huda Rashid, Yee I-Lann, and Stephanie Syjuco address historical colonial imagery across Southeast Asia including the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore refuting the camera's gaze, tackling issues of representation in archives. Nurul
Huda Rashid combines both colonial archives of Southeast Asian women who were identified as "unknown" in conjunction with photographs from family albums; her handwritten annotations on photographs are a “salve” of perseverance and her voice via sound installation speaks to quiet “shuuushhhh” the colonist.
Wawi Navarroza and Gina Osterloh commit to photography as portal– a concrete physical space and psychological field deeply intertwined with the world; her body present and iconic but not biography, the embodied image, collective self. Each terrain and strategy shared in the exhibition are not discrete– artist methods, spaces, forms, voices of unbridled potential– artists writing their own contexts, narratives, and symbolic logic. The artists live and work in the Philippines, Sabah, Singapore, the United States, and the Netherlands.

NANCY GRAVES FOUNDATION - GRANT FOR VISUAL ARTISTS 2023
The Nancy Graves Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2023 Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists. Established through a provision of the artist’s Last Will and Testament, the Foundation has supported the work and artistic development of individual artists since 2001. This year’s grantees include Lily Cox-Richard, Maya Freelon, Ja’Tovia Gary, and Gina Osterloh. Initially nominated by artists and arts professionals from across the country, a second panel of jurors selected four grantees to receive unrestricted funds to work in a technique, medium or discipline that is different from the one for which they are primarily recognized. The Nancy Graves Foundation Grant for Visual Artists supported the creation of glass masks and new performances for the camera by Gina Osterloh created in 2024-2025 and are ongoing.

The Rose
July 29th - October 28th, 2023
Curated by Justine Kurland
The Rose presents the work of forty-four artists, dating from the 1960s through to the present, and proposes a circular genealogy of collage. The exhibition imagines an extended family of artworks, where kinship is forged through association, at once amplifying themes and providing context through similarity and difference, sounding out feelings and language as a collective effort. The works convene like the petals of a rose: a collage in and of itself. Featuring the work of: Ruth Asawa, Natalie Ball, Lee Bontecou, Vija Celmins, Philo Cohen, Jay DeFeo, Mary Beth Edelson, Tatiana Florival, Vanessa German, Bean Gilsdorf, Janice Guy, K8 Hardy, Leslie Hewitt, Jessica Jackson Hutchins, AK Jenkins, Baseera Khan, Kiki Kogelnik, Tarrah Krajnak, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Jacky Marshall, Aspen Mays, Qiana Mestrich, Helina Metaferia, Shala Miller, Joiri Minaya, Rachelle Mozman Solano, Wangechi Mutu, Martha Naranjo Sandoval, Yamini Nayar, B.

ATENEO ART GALLERY, ATENEO DE MANILA UNIVERSITY, Quezon City, Philippines. Not Visual Noise. Nov 24, 2019-June 28, 2020
Curated by Angel Velasco Shaw, Not Visual Noise is a seminal photography exhibition that will feature more than 30 artists living in the Philippines and in the Filipino diaspora. It aims to showcase a diverse range of artists engaged in photography-based art practices whose works broadly represent what is happening in the fields of photography today — from photojournalism, long-form documentary photography to conceptual and installation photography, and web/social media-based projects. The exhibition examines the tension between high/low culture and high/low art photography in a media-saturated world. Featured artists in this exhibition are National Artist Benedicto “Bencab” Cabrera, Ezra Acayan, Alex Baluyut, Ringo Bunuoan, Nana Buxani, Geloy Concepcion, Kiri Dalena, Lizza May David, Neil Daza, Kawayan de Guia, Kidlat de Guia, Romina Diaz, Carlo Gabuco, Tommy Hafalla, Nap Jamir, Raffy Lerma, Wawi Navarroza, Neal Oshima, Gina Osterloh, Butch Perez, Rick Rocamora, Emmanuel Santos, Lawrence Sumulong, Stephanie Syjuco, Wig Tysmans, Veejay Villafranca, Boy Yñiguez, and MM Yu.
