What an absolute honor to share the barrier dissolving work of the Artist Rebirth Cycle 2024. Here are some pics from our final show, 𝑭𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒓 🚪🫠✨

“Do barriers frustrate us or do we frustrate them? From the cellular to the corporeal to the spiritual to the political, barriers distinguish an inside from an out. These selectively permeable gateways give structure to formlessness in a living, breathing, ever-changing system. A barrier can protect as much as it can expose, it can soothe as much as frustrate. The word barrier often conjures an outsider— someone or something that cannot pass. But what happens when the outsider discovers the barrier is her own? With a bit of frustration to the logic that upholds it, a barrier is quite simple to dissolve.

The artists of Frustrating the Barrier invite you to consider that our most frustrating barriers can perhaps be dismantled if we frustrate them back. Is there really a barrier between the living and the dead? Can our consciousness not dissolve into the patterns of our climate? What happens when a critical mind uproots itself from religious law, collecting new mythologies from its own embodied reality? And how do newborn realities emerge? Do they erupt out of secrecy? Do they incubate in a mythical cave? Or do these small gods grow so low to the ground in a garden
that they humbly go unseen? Does one reality birth from another in a complex c-section of consciousness? Each cut out in a wavelike contraction with its own unique shape? In order to dissolve a barrier we must first understand who it belongs to. And if it is ours, while it may not be ours alone, we might just have the creative agency to disown it.

It was such a pleasure to have my first art exhibit at @thepack.art in Chelsea! Thank you to my teacher @ssarahgrass, my classmates @andy_kangaroo @by_nneka @punto.cer0o @mysisterthinksimfunny @bethduerr @mollygotinsta , and everyone who came out to support us! It was a magical experience and I look forward to many more.

We frustrated the barrier and survived! 💖🏩🎀🎉

Beautiful photos by @alexa_hoyer + a video of the space I made at the end of the post.

My first art show! 🥰

@thepack.art is excited to announce ‘Frustrating the Barrier’, a group exhibition of the Artist Rebirth Cycle 2024 participants. The artists on view spent the greater part of the past year gestating new modes of thinking, visualizing, birthing new bodies of work. Through a diverse array of installation, painting, sculpture, and multimedia, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on what separates and connects us, both individually and collectively.

Today’s Artist Rebirth Cycle feature is 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒉 𝑫𝒖𝒆𝒓𝒓 (@bethduerr )!

See Beth’s work as part of the Artist Rebirth Cycle 2024 group exhibition at The Pack Studio in Chelsea, opening 11/1/24!

🕸️⚡🐺

Beth Duerr was born and raised in Ohio where she studied printmaking at Wittenberg University before moving to New York City to pursue her MFA in Painting and Sculpture at Parsons School of Design in 2002. She has worked for a tree care company for the past 15 years and is currently in the process of becoming an arborist. One of her earliest memories involves dissecting an acorn and examining its parts. She makes drawings and paintings about the observation, experience and memories of moving through and being in landscapes, oceanscapes and specific elements of nature such as wind, moving water, snow and fog.

Duerr has had solo exhibitions at Bromfield Gallery in Boston, MA, Sweet Lorraine Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, and most recently at Tiny Dancer Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. She has participated in artist residencies at the Margo Gelb Shack in Provincetown, MA via the Outer Cape Artists in Residence Consortium, Brooklyn Art Space, and Arts Letters & Numbers in Averill Park, NY.

“I notice qualities like the distinct way the waves are moving toward the shore and how the light is reflecting off of them, how the sound of the rustling of leaves in trees is in direct relationship to the wind and to the dappled moving light on the forest floor. I also pay attention to the way my body feels in the experience, as I walk or sit in stillness.”

Moody moments before shutting the lights off for GHOST VOLUME. To piggyback on @misc_goodsco motto, All Things Must End.
What a lovely night of buzzing enthusiasm it was though.
Thank you artists.
