Trouble in Paradise Opening Reception

Readymade Gallery presents “Trouble in Paradise”, a group exhibition featuring works by Rose Briccetti, Becky Brown, Bel Fullana, Thomas Hoffman, Meredith Iszlai, Richard Neal, Daniel Ranalli, Jackie Reeves, Andrew Schultheis, and Tabitha Vevers. The ten artists featured in “Trouble in Paradise”, a mix of DNA residents and invited guests, take a deep dive into the narrative of Utopia and discover that the facade is constantly crumbling. Climate change is certainly not a hoax: wildfires ravage Hawaii and California, glaciers are melting at alarming rates, sea levels are rising, temperatures are record-breaking, catastrophic storms are increasing, warming waters changing the way the currents flow and animals (and humans) migrate. Examining the pitfalls and facades of Nirvana in its many forms, “Trouble in Paradise” will be on view from August 31st through September 29th, with an opening reception from 6 - 8:30 pm on Saturday, August 31st.
