This touring exhibition from artist Sawyer Rose and The Carrying Stones Project shines a light on the systemic inequalities that working women face, including the physical, emotional, and practical effects of these disproportionate labor loads.

There is a theory that speaks of four interconnecting factors of the identity relating to its outcome. One definition states that the crisis of identity represents the struggle to find a balance between developing a uniqueness while still being accepted and fitting into society. Contrary to popular belief, this can happen at any stage of life, childhood, adolescence, and adult. This is strangely connected to the metaphysical. As one deals with obstacles without resistance, the soul or spirit raises up a level in the spiral of being. A new phase of life and energy begins.

Aima Saint Hunon installation at Under the Oven Gallery

Under the Oven Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of LOULAPOP, an immersive multimedia installation by artist Aima Saint Hunon in collaboration with lighting designer Emmanuel Gambin. Saturated in light, color, and sweetness, Saint Hunon’s LOULAPOP constructs a fantastical world predicated on gender equity through sensual play. Saint Hunon flirts with material and symbolic duality, apposing bronze figures and spritely 3D-printed forms, oil paintings with trance-like illuminations, ecstatically uniting themes of feminine power and sacred masculinity.

Opening Thursday 9/12 6-9pm @ Under the Oven Gallery, 98 Rivington Street, NYC.
