Caledonia Curry, known to her friends as Callie and to the art world as Swoon, has transformed Container into an open and meditative environment featuring a number of her large-scale sculptural installations as well as her first stop-motion animation video. Beyond these individual objects, the artist is interested in establishing spaces of empathy with a compassionate eye toward greater understanding and creating positive impact in the lives of her audiences. In Seven Contemplations, the artist infuses often difficult aspects of her personal journey with a spirit of generosity to offer a model of how pushing through the discomfort of challenges may lead toward healing. This exhibition includes major parts of the original exhibition at the Albright-Knox Gallery in 2020.
