Cleveland Heights’ Cain Park has been an underused resource in the recent past, opening in June and closing in mid-August but in the last few years, it’s been extending its season, and this year, it goes well into September. And while its theater season doesn’t start until next week and its first concert is the following week, this weekend it’s opening its Feinberg Art Gallery for its first show of the season.
Forest of Thoughts: Elevation of the Ordinary features work by two recent Cleveland Institute of Art graduates, Liana Gonzalez and Thomas Smith, each one building on and reimagining on their BFA thesis. Both artists take familiar objects and recontextualize them in an effort to make viewers see and think about them differently. Cain Park tells us this will be the gallery’s first immersive installation, which might shake up a few patrons used to seeing paintings on the wall.
The show opens with a free, public reception on Friday May 24 featuring live music by Matthew Alec and Brian Woods.
