Joel Mesler’s practice sheds light on universal themes by filtering them through autobiography, humor, self-deprecation, and surprising compositional juxtapositions. Mesler has explored the power of acceptance, allowing emotions—as well as the cultural forms in which they become entangled—to exist at the center of his projects. An artist, collector, and former art dealer, Mesler’s installation mimics his studio, office, and exhibition space, featuring work by a select group of his contemporaries. The space will function as a gathering and meeting place where the artist will host office hours. Mesler’s office hours create a simultaneous performance and public program.

Office Hours: During museum open hours
It’s a surprise! Joel Mesler will be “in and out of the office” throughout the exhibition. Stop by anytime during the museum’s open hours, and if Joel is “in office,” he practices an open-door policy. You’ll never know when he’ll magically appear!

This exhibition was organized by Melanie Crader, museum director and curator of visual arts, with Philippa Content, museum manager and registrar and Claire Hunter, museum coordinator and curatorial associate.

OPEN WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, 12-5PM.
