Current
Handle With Care
In a partnership exhibition originated by Alabama Contemporary for the Mobile Museum of Art, artists Calder Kamin (Austin, TX) and Jacob Reptile (New Orleans, LA) transform trash into soft and complex sculptures to create a new kind of environment. Through purposeful reuse of fabrics, plastics, and second-hand materials, these artists create new alien lifeforms, flora and fauna, to populate an imagined landscape.
PAX
Artist Brian R. Jobe’s architectural landscape intervention offers the public a way to slow down and find rest in a liminal space that is both a journey and destination. This labyrinthine space is a continuation of Jobe’s work constructing public corridors for contemplation and respite.
Evidence of Care
After treatment ends and lives are changed, the physical traces of caregiving remain behind. The materials, the sweat, and often the tears become evidence of the labor, urgency, and humanity found within systems of care. Evidence of Care is a multimedia art exhibition exploring the everyday medical materials that quietly support the work of medical workers.
Upcoming
Cheers to the Culture is a pop-up exhibition of portraits by Mobile based artist Jenyes honoring modern-day geniuses who transformed limited circumstances into influence through resilience, perspective, and vision.
This exhibition opening during October Artwalk brings together a selection of performance-for-the-camera works by artist Stephanie Sutton that examine the body as a site of labor, desire, and the ways it is seen. Through self-portraiture, Sutton uses her own body to question how identity is constructed through screens, mirrors, and other technologies that increasingly shape our relationships with ourselves and one another.
Past
Glottogenesis
Artist Tansy Xiao’s interactive video installation Glottogenesis functions as both an immersive audiovisual installation and an activatable instrument, allowing for fluid, interchangeable roles between spectators and creators, while merging existing language with nascent language in the making.
What Are Dreams If Not Hostage Situations?
What Are Dreams If Not Hostage Situations? curated by Yes We Cannibal for Gadsden Museum of Art is about a special kind of figure who is native to the dream. He is of obscure intent. Work by Lily LaGrange, Louisa Minkin & Francis Summers [LMFS], Jon Peterson, Jak Ritger, Panacea Theriac, and Tunde Wey.
Homestead Extinction
In this brand new body of work, Tony Rodrigues tackles the growing housing crisis with paintings full of crushed marble that rupture and disrupt idealized subject-matter of a world in the wrong kind of excess. Through depicting a fictional “neighborhood”, Rodrigues explores not only what we desire from our lived spaces, but the dilapidation, entropy and rot that riddle a broken system.
With Signs Following
This exhibition grows from a body of work by Abe Partridge, recounting his time in the religious communities of rural Appalachia. It is the culmination of a 2.5 year process that models ways art and other forms of cultural production can expand meaning across religious, cultural and geographic divides. Originated in 2022 by Alabama Contemporary, With Sign Following is on at Kentuck at Queen City in March 2026.
