SUMMARY:Xaviera Simmons: Figure Eleven
DESCRIPTION:Xaviera Simmons: Figure Eleven\n\n\n\n\nNOVEMBER 14\, 2025 – JANUARY 24\, 2026\n\n\n\n\nTHE DR. ROBERT L. BRANDT\, JR. GALLERY \nTHE IRA & SUSAN THOMSEN FAMILY GALLERY \nTHE JACK W. & SALLY EICHELBERGER VIDEO GALLERY \n\n\n\nThe Contemporary Dayton is proud to present Xaviera Simmons: Figure Eleven\, a major solo exhibition bringing together recent works in photography\, painting\, video\, and the world premiere of a new body of bronze sculptures by one of the most bold and visionary artists of our time.\n\n\nSimmons’ practice is deeply rooted in art history\, both through deliberate assertion and continuous engagement\, drawing on references that span from antiquity and the American landscape to contemporary media. Her work unfolds through a cinematic sensibility\, where narrative\, movement\, and stillness intersect. This is evident in her photographic series such as American Book Covers and Sundown\, in her monumental text paintings\, and now in this new body of bronze sculptures. \nPerformance\, choreography\, and the sensual are integral to Simmons’ artistic language. In this recent sculptural work\, these elements coalesce into forms that feel both classical and contemporary. As with much of her practice\, Figure Eleven situates art history within an ongoing continuum\, like a film that resists final resolution. \nThe sculptures recall the Venus of Willendorf and Venus de Milo while simultaneously reflecting the multiplicity of contemporary bodies and motifs. Their power lies in their capacity to collapse and reconcile distinct historical and cultural narratives. The figures embody a poised stillness that resonates with the language of movement and performance. Figure Eleven\, both the exhibition’s title and the newest figurative sculpture\, appears as if drawn from a film still\, a moment suspended between gesture and permanence. \nOPENING NIGHT / NOV 14\nMember & Sponsor Preview: 5-6 pm \nPublic Reception: 6-8 pm \nRemarks: 6:30 pm \n\n\nAn Afternoon with Xaviera Simmons: Artist Talk & Panel Discussion / NOV 15\n2 – 4p \nJoin us for an afternoon with Xaviera Simmons\, featuring an introduction of the exhibition from curator Heather Jones\, an overview of the artist’s work and its place in art history from gallerist David Castillo\, and a presentation by Simmons. The talks will be followed by a dynamic panel discussion with the speakers and Dr. Judith Huacuja\, professor emeritus\, University of Dayton. \nThis event will take place at The Tank\, in the lower level of The Dayton Arcade. \n\n\nRSVP for Artist Talk

SUMMARY:Members’ Spotlight: Lori Daugherty: Bold Whispers
DESCRIPTION:December 3 – 27\, 2025 Opening Reception: December 3\, 6 – 8 pm Closing Reception: December 27\, 2025\, 4 – 6 pm Lori Daugherty: Bold Whispers brings together a series of intimate encaustic works in which color\, wax\, and heat converge to form small but potent moments of energy. In each piece\, Dayton-based artist Lori Daugherty coaxes organic bursts of form and pigment into being—gestures that feel alive\, expanding\, and quietly insistent. These works reward slow looking: what first appears delicate reveals surprising force\, and what seems restrained carries a pulse of movement just beneath the surface. Working with encaustic wax and inks\, Daugherty builds her compositions through layered translucency\, texture\, and the dynamic unpredictability of a torch and flame. The resulting surfaces hover between control and spontaneity\, abstraction and suggestion. Together\, the paintings in Bold Whispers invite viewers to linger in the space where subtlety becomes powerful and small moments open into larger stories. All artworks in this exhibition are available for purchase. Please visit the reception desk or speak to a staff member to purchase. Proceeds support both the artist and The Contemporary Dayton’s mission to connect artists and audiences through accessible\, engaging contemporary art experiences.
