SUMMARY:Opening Reception · By Way Of
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Institute of Art’s Reinberger Gallery presents By Way Of\, a group exhibition of new work by the inaugural cohort of the Regional Artist Mobility Program (RAMP)\, a residency exchange between Flux Factory and CIA in Northeast Ohio. \n\n\n\nBy Way Of takes its title from the common preposition for an indirect route—a nod to the oft absurd\, circuitous path taken by makers for their art. Leaning into processes of working backwards\, taking the side quest\, wandering off or rerouting\, each of the artists in By Way Of channels a practice through something that already exists: by way of a melting shoe\, by way of reenactment\, by way of material resistance or by way of Saturday morning cartoons. \n\n\n\nThe inaugural RAMP cohort includes two Cleveland Institute of Art faculty members: interdisciplinary artist and designer Rachel Ferber and painter Mike Meier. It also includes two Flux Factory community artists: textile artist and designer Itala Aguilera and interdisciplinary artist and former actor Li-Ming Hu. \n\n\n\nBy Way Of will open to the public with a reception from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on Friday\, November 13 at CIA’s Reinberger Gallery. Remarks will begin at 6:00 pm and will be followed by a live one-night-only performance by Aguilera at 6:15 pm. The exhibition will remain on view through Sunday\, February 7\, 2027. \n\n\n\nThe Regional Artist Mobility Program is made possible with the support of The Kettering Family Foundation. Reinberger Gallery programming is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County\, through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture\, and generously supported by CIA’s Community Partners. \n\n\n\nImage Credit: Itala Aguilera\, Ice Shoes\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception · Solo Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Flux IV for the opening reception of two solo exhibitions\, Ethan Shoshan: For Those Without A Tribe and Wallace Dos Santos: Cherry Blossom Girl on Tuesday\, November 17 from 6 – 9 PM\, with remarks at 7 PM.  \n\n\n\nFor Those Without A Tribe centers on a series of large-scale hooked rugs depicting the rooms and objects of the historic Lower Manhattan building on Greenwich Street where New York-based artist\, activist\, and social ecologist\, Ethan Shoshan\, lived alongside the artist Geoffrey Hendricks and archivist Sur Rodney (Sur) for almost two decades. A social experiment for intergenerational living\, the Greenwich Street home became a place where art\, friendship\, history\, and everyday life were deeply intertwined. \n\n\n\nCherry Blossom Girl features a series of sculpturally framed paintings incorporating paper pulp made from recycled\, everyday waste. Reflecting on the nostalgia and sweetness of the Wallace dos Santos’s childhood in New York City\, the exhibition explores how a place becomes imbricated with the people\, memories\, architectural details\, and recurrent encounters that shape our lives.About the Artists \n\n\n\nEthan Shoshan is an artist\, activist\, curator\, writer\, and social ecologist based in New York City. Living independently from an early age taught him care\, resilience\, and the importance of community. These values continue to shape his art. Working across media\, his practice bridges creativity and social engagement\, shedding light on inequity and belonging. Behind the scenes\, he supports activist and cultural communities as a technical consultant\, seeing no separation between sustaining art and sustaining people. Shoshan has exhibited widely and led programs for queer and unhoused communities. His work transforms personal and collective histories into acts of connection and possibility. \n\n\n\nWallace dos Santos (b.2000) is a Brazilian-American artist born and raised in Brooklyn\, NY. They work in painting\, papermaking\, and sculpture to explore architectural and psychedelic realms. They received their BFA from The Cooper Union\, and currently work in Queens\, NY. Wallace has been a resident at the Ox-Bow Longform Residency\, haul gallery Raised in Brooklyn Residency\, and the Vermont Studio Center. Wallace is a 2026 NYFA Queens Art Fund recipient.AccessibilityFlux IV is located on the ground floor of 56-21 2nd Street\, Long Island City\, NY 11101 between the Queens Landing Boathouse & Environmental Center and Gotham Point apartments.
