"Care Instructions" Group Exhibition at Paradigm Gallery
Care Instructions:
Work by Vanessa Barragão, Allison May Kiphuth, Nayan & Venus, and RAIR Philly
Paradigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present Care Instructions, a collection of artists and makers across three continents that incorporate elements of reuse, recycling, and environmental awareness in their work. With intentions for sustainability, each of these artists has developed their practice to include discarded or natural materials while engaging in active research and preservation efforts. These meticulously constructed versions of coral reefs, woodlands, and aviary populations inspire the obligation to take care of the environment and combat single-use material culture. The exhibition is a showcase on how powerful design and material reuse in craftsmanship can be aesthetically pleasing. The artists aren't just actively charging the work to spread a message, they’re putting the message into practice and showing the spectacular results.
Care Instructions will be on view on the second floor of the Paradigm Arts Building (12 N 3rd St) from May 2 through June 1, 2025, with a public opening reception on Friday, May 2nd from 6–8pm.
