LVL3 is pleased to present God and everybody, a two-person exhibition of new work from Emma Beatrez (Minneapolis, MN) and Mikey Mosher (Chicago, IL). Beatrez and Mosher’s practices share an exploration and re-contextualization of religious iconography. In a broad range of media, including hand-cut collage to digital fabrication, slip cast ceramics, tattooed rubber, and video installation, the artists cultivate an acute sense of nostalgia through a reinterpretation of imagery that’s endured a pious, decidedly American, upbringing. “God and everybody”, a term borrowed from a colloquial phrase used to emphasize an expression of hubristic conviction, traditionally in the American South, scrutinizes the way we respond to and consider what was once considered sacred; the exhibited works ask the viewer to reconsider the implications and bases of their own spiritual relationships, the roots of their pride and shame, and the abiding motifs of their personal histories.
Opening: Saturday, January 13th, 2024 6-9 PM
