“Refresh,” marking the re-opening of Snide Gallery, is an exhibition featuring five artists whose work plays with themes of renewal. Scaling smaller and veering away from strict form, the work allots the viewer room to see and see again. Like scrying into clouds, hazy forms and light-drenched images come into focus and just as we feel we have a grasp, they fall back into something else. Smith’s work “TAPPED,” which places photos in front of a lit panel, hints at a digital layer to “Refresh,” to a constant, quickening deluge of information to be sifted through, to screens that turn fuzzy as we wait for a page to reload. These ambiguous forms find their way also into Stuerer, Thompson, and Hendrickson’s work, emanating a state of transience and lightness that is echoed in the gallery’s whitewashed walls and floors, a stark contrast to Snide’s previous black interior. Themes of subtlety play out not only in visual fog but in a reduction of scale that prompts one to step closer and to look more carefully. Within the static is a shift required for refreshment, one that may lie perpetually tangled in enigma. Symbolism throughout, such as in Price’s work, nods to this mystery. These marks stand as lighthouses that clear away a path of fog. “Refresh” ultimately attempts to remind us that when we lose shapes in the clouds, others may yet appear - that paths toward meaning might lie on the other side of fluidity, reliant on a continuous process of sieving through noise.
