  Christopher Cascio: “Portals”

  Patterns. Repetition. The compulsory need for the same, over and over, until you’re led somewhere else. In second-time Ivester gallery artist Christopher Cascio’s newest solo exhibition, he explores both the pattern and the escape – a portal within every piece. His paintings combine aerosol and acrylic paint with more textural elements like masking tape, found fabric, and concert wristbands to form various repeating images anchored by centralized portals both obvious and obscure. And so, Cascio’s canvases “[invite] viewers to consider these moments as thresholds, interruptions in the pattern that offer space for reflection, transformation, or escape.” – James Scott

  Perfume Genius, urika's bedroom

  Seven albums and 15 years into the Perfume Genius project, songwriter Mike Hadreas shows no signs of slowing his pursuit of baroque perfection. Queerness burns at the core of his artistry – a transcendent and spiritually/sonically curious approach to pop music marks each new release. Acclaimed March LP Glory serves as no exception. From the tense, fingerpicked poetry of opener “It’s a Mirror,” Hadreas tackles loss, existential dread, and chronic illness with an impeccable balance of bravado and tenderness. Few contemporary artists wring catharsis from turmoil so masterfully. – Genevieve Wood
