SUMMARY:Family Home
DESCRIPTION:Family Home: Printmakers Reflect on Place, Identity, and Belonging\nA new generation of artists explores family, home, and identity in this exhibition. Kehayr Brown-Ransaw, Benjamin Merritt, and Mei Lam So incorporate work on fabric into their printmaking and image transfer techniques. Curated by Stephanie Lynn Rogers.\nFamily Home opens on Saturday, August 10 and runs through November 2, 2024 in Gallery One at the Anderson Center. Anderson Center Galleries are open from 11 am – 4 pm, Wednesday through Saturday. Join us for a joint artist reception on Friday, September 20 from 6 – 8 p.m.\nAbout the Artists\nKehayr Brown-Ransaw ( https://www.kehayr.com/ ) is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and curator based in Bde Óta Othúŋwe/Mnísota (Minneapolis/Minnesota). Brown-Ransaw’s practice engages in conversations of individualism v. collectivism, familial histories, concepts of gendered work, tradition, and Blackness/Black identity through quilting, weaving and printmaking. His curatorial and teaching practices are concerned with access, representation, and the presentation of marginalized communities.\nBrown-Ransaw received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Furniture Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He is the recipient of a 2020/21 Emerging Curators Institute (ECI) Emerging Curator Fellowship, 2020/21 Jerome Early Career Fellowship, 2021 Franconia Sculpture Park Mid-Career Artist Fellowship, and 2021 Artist in Residence at the Minnesota African American Heritage Museum & Gallery. Additionally, Brown-Ransaw is an active and operating member of the People’s Library ( https://www.thepeopleslibrary.org ) who has exhibited works at and collaborated in arts programming at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Soap Factory, Walker Art Center, and Minneapolis Institute of Art. He is the recipient of a FY2021 State Arts Board Creative Support for Individuals grant, 2020 Visual Arts Fund Community Relief Grant from Midway Contemporary Art on behalf of The People’s Library, and FY2020 Next Step Fund Award from the Metro Regional Arts Council.\nBenjamin Merritt ( https://benjaminmerritt.com/ ) (Early Career Resident 2022) is a printmaker working in Minneapolis. He makes drawings, monoprints, sculptural forms, and garments that combine abstraction with handwritten text. Merritt’s work draws from how meaning is derived from and created by language, with a specific interest in how language complicates personal relationships. He often presents multiple pieces that create one larger poetic statement in an installation. The accumulative method of creating work reflects how garments language operates in human relationships and families – we develop specific languages and histories between each other that are then built on by the next thing we say.\nMerritt has completed residencies at Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis, Spudnik Press in Chicago, the Anderson Center, and the Ox-Bow School of Art in Saugatuck, MI. His work has received support from the Minnesota State Arts Board.\nMei Lam So is an artist who focuses on printmaking, textile printing, and ceramics. She received her BFA degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her MFA degree in Printmaking and Ceramics from the University of Iowa. She is originally from Hong Kong and is currently based in Minneapolis, MN. So is the Assistant Printer and Studio Manager at C&C Editions.\nSo’s work focuses on the integration and disintegration of identity within the context of cultural and familial relationships. She explores topics surrounding the acculturation process of bicultural Asian immigrants; particularly, how others navigate and integrate their own conflicting values and beliefs. Using printmaking, So creates narratives that share her experiences of being a bicultural individual and its perennial condition of balancing various identities.\nAbout the Venue\nAnderson Center Galleries are free to the public (donations welcome). The galleries are open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Gallery One is on the lower level of the main building and is accessed via either stairs or an elevator. If you have questions about the accessibility of Anderson Center facilities or programs, please contact us! info@andersoncenter.org or 651-388-2009.\nFree admission to the Anderson Center galleries is made possible in part through support from the Xcel Energy Foundation.\nThis exhibit is also made possible by the voters of Minnesota through an Operating Support grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.\n
