Susan B. Byrnes: Lightness and Weight
2025-03-14 | 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
2025-03-14 | 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.
