The Marion Art Gallery presents Persistent
Iterations
Familiar, constant, and even conventional, the tropes of figuration and landscape nonetheless persist through time and outside of fashion to maintain their quietly dominant positions, even in the most contemporary of art approaches. Springboards from the familiar to the strange or even occasionally markers of deviation, these genres repeatedly demonstrate that well-used is not well-worn. Each of the artists in Persistent Iterations utilize either figuration or landscape as a point of departure to serve their own iconoclastic visual languages. Curated by John Massier, Visual Arts Curator at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, this exhibition features works by artists currently residing in the Buffalo area. Among the artists are: Bruce Adams, Kyle Butler, AJ Fries, Pam Glick, George Afedzi Hughes, Richard Huntington, Joan Linder, Margaret Schrecongost, virocode, and Rebecca Wing.

This imaginative dark comedy propels audiences forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future. After the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors share a campfire and begin to piece together the plot of “The Simpsons” episode “Cape Feare” entirely from memory. Seven years later, this and other snippets of pop culture (sitcom plots, commercials, jingles, and pop songs) have become the live entertainment of a post-apocalyptic society, sincerely trying to hold onto its past. 75 years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created. “
