New Shows at ARTneo, Survival Kit and Tregoning Highlight This Month’s Third Friday

From “Optical Delusion” by Kristina Kuhn

Fri 8/17 @ 5-9PM

Things will be a tad less hectic at 78th Street Studios’ Third Friday this month now that the CAN Triennial is over. But there are several new shows to see, along with some still-running ones you can catch.

Start in the front of the building at Tregoning & Company to absorb the new show of works by the late Cleveland photographer Masumi Hayashi who was tragically murdered in 2006. But she left behind a body of work featuring her mosaic-like views of Superfund sites, abandoned prisons, Asian temples and former WWII internment camps, composed of multiple small photos to create panoramic views.

Survival Kit Gallery on the building’s top floor will be opening Cleveland sculptor/installation artist Kristina Kuhn’s Optical Delusion. This will be the 2016 Cleveland Institute of Art graduate’s first solo exhibition. It features wha she describes as “stage-like installations” that incorporate sculptures and paintings. She says it “invites viewers to question their assumed boundaries of perception and “calls upon us to question what makes up reality, as well as reflecting an intense incentive for changing the way we understand and structure the world around us.” The show will be on view through Fri 10/19.

Afterward, stick around to catch music by Pleasure Leftists and Actual Form at 9pm on the Survival Kit stage. It’s free.

ARTneo’s new show, Day Job: The Working Artist, takes a look at how the artists of the Cleveland School earned their living as commercial artists and how their fine art backgrounds informed that work. It runs through 10/19.

Gallery + had a “People’s Choice” contest in which it asked visitors to vote for the artist who should have a solo show there. The winner is abstract painter Jo Ann Rencz, who show opens tonight and will be on view of the next three months.

There’s one last chance to catch the exhibit, The heART of Cleveland, at E11even2 gallery, featuring work created by more than 100 local artists for the book of the same name.

Also continuing: the group exhibition at HEDGE Gallery featuring 15 of its represented artists. And the Director’s Choice show at Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery with 17 international artists, most of whom have been shown at the gallery before.
