Here, in this little Bay: Celebrating 30 Years at the Kreeger opening reception on Saturday, June 1 from 6:30-9pm
Fourteen artists from nine countries reflect on our interactions with the natural environment in the Kreeger Museum’s 30th-anniversary exhibition titled Here, in this little Bay: Celebrating 30 Years at the Kreeger. The exhibition is on view from June 1, 2024–October 5, 2024.
Comprising artists from Argentina, Burma, Chile, Côte d’Ivoire, Greece, Japan, Korea, Iran and the United States, the exhibition includes photographs, paintings, drawings and sculptures with both representational and conceptual approaches considered. Artists who explore the wondrous abstract structures and patterns of nature are complemented by those who more specifically investigate the ways that labor, migration, trade and conflict interface with the environment. Nature is contemplated as a model of endurance and growth, as well as an entity subject to extreme human interventions, including climate change and nuclear devastation.

linn meyers is best known for her intricate line-based paintings and drawings, and her large-scale installations. Her large projects require a great deal of endurance and involve drawing in a gallery space over the course of days, sometimes weeks or months, accumulating lines into dense and intricate compositions. The scale of these projects allows meyers to respond to the existing architectural features, magnifying the wholly committed performativity of her process. Anne Collins Goodyear notes, “The work encourages viewers to think about our relationship to place, space, and our imaginations.”
