Susan B. Byrnes: Lightness and Weight
2025-03-21, 2025-03-22 | The Contemporary Dayton, 25 W. Fourth St., Dayton, OH, 45402, United States
A groundbreaking exploration of the paradoxes inherent in the human experience drawing from themes in Milan Kundera’s novel, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” Lightness & Weight will feature three new sound and sculptural installations that explore the complexities and dualities of the human condition. The exhibition will include a variety of non-traditional materials including cast iron, tulle, artificial hair, glass, smoke, video, and sound. Byrnes, a sculptor and audio producer who most often uses her work to challenge and reflect on the burdens of sexism and the resilience of the female body, will launch a companion podcast series featuring interviews with women artists across various media and backgrounds. Created through a new partnership between The Co and WYSO 91.3 FM, the flagship National Public Radio (NPR) member station for the region, the podcast will provide an important platform for female voices in the arts, fostering dialogue and community engagement. Byrnes is a Cincinnati-based visual artist whose diverse body of work spans sculpture, multimedia installation, radio broadcasts, writing, and curatorial projects. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the Midwest, including the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago, the Dayton Art Institute, and the Weston Gallery, Cincinnati. OPENING NIGHT / JAN 17, 2025 Members Preview with the Artist 5-6 pm / Public Reception 6-8 pm

A Zachary Armstrong Curatorial Project
2025-03-21, 2025-03-22 | The Contemporary Dayton, 25 W. Fourth St., Dayton, OH, 45402, United States
Intricate. Intimate. From the heart. The Co presents the reveal of a new project by Zachary Armstrong—an enigmatic force whose work features the ritualistic repetition of symbols and motifs rooted in recollections of his childhood and family, of people and places, of rural Midwest Americana. While the details remain under wraps, we promise a love letter to technical innovation, imagination and memory as a means of connecting. Armstrong lives and works in Dayton, Ohio. Recent solo exhibitions include GNYP Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium (2023); Tilton Gallery, New York, NY (2022, 2018, 2016); Faurschou Foundation, New York, NY/Beijing, China (2022, 2021); and The Contemporary, Dayton, OH (2021); among others. FRIENDS & FAMILY RECEPTION / Jan 3, 2025 / 6-8 pm OPENING NIGHT / Jan 17, 2025 / 6-8 pm

Exhibit: Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled
2025-03-21, 2025-03-22 | The Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park N, Dayton, OH, 45405, United States
March 15–June 8, 2025
A distinguished figure in contemporary art, Jamie Wyeth is recognized for his fiercely independent, realistic approach to art. This exhibition follows Wyeth’s entire career and looks at a specifically darker thread within his oeuvre of troubling and unnerving imagery. Unsettled is divided into three distinct sections: “Strangers and Specters;” “Natural and Supernatural Worlds;” and “Haunted Places and Disturbing Spaces.” Drawn from museums and private collections from across the country, the DAI is the exclusive Ohio venue and the final stop for this major traveling exhibition. Organized by the Brandywine Museum of Art.

About Swing Dance & Gem City Swing:
Swing is a partner dance, where two people connect with each other and nonverbally give each other cues, allowing each partner to respond to what the other is doing. Everybody dances differently, making each dance you share different and unique. As such, everybody dances with everybody…you can show up by yourself, and you’ll be able to dance with the whole room by the end of the night. If you move your body to the music, you’re swing dancing!
Gem City Swing was founded in 2015 by a group of swing dancers who wanted to grow the swing dance scene in Dayton and wished to introduce more people to swing music.
We’re not in this because we want to make money or promote ourselves. We like dancing, having fun, and meeting people. Our lessons, our dances, and every event that we run is done with the purpose of introducing as many people to swing as possible and having a blast in the process.
It is our goal to promote the education and enjoyment of Lindy Hop and other swing dances in Dayton, Ohio and surrounding areas, by offering social dance events, dance instruction, workshops, social activities, as well as other events deemed necessary for the promotion of swing dances. We are an organization staffed by people who simply love the dance and want as many people as possible to feel that love as well.
