In Bloom is a curation of works made up of artists at different stages of their careers. Referencing a home garden, our lives are in various stages that each require different conditions to grow while deserving to be admired in its current state. Living and breathing their practice day to day, these artists are reflections of their work outside of their studios, in the way that they talk and how they uphold themselves.

Guest Curator:
Armani Howard (b. 1993, USA) is a multi-disciplinary, African American Thai artist based in Chicago. His work cross-examines the roles of memory, nostalgia, and folkloric narratives in the creation and preservation of identity. Howard’s paintings are often depicted with allegorical or symbolic features. The physical environments they inhabit are heavily abstracted and obscured, suggesting a realm outside of time in which dream life, memory, and imagination coexist with materiality
