Opening Reception: It's Not That Serious

The Contemporary Art Modern Project is delighted to present our Spring exhibition, It’s Not That Serious, a multimedia group exhibition featuring neon artist James Akers, textile artist Kathryn Knudsen, and painter Jason Hackenwerth.

The exhibition will be open to the public in our Miami gallery beginning April 13 and will run through May 31. The gallery will be hosting an opening reception on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 12–5 PM.

This exhibition includes works from artists James Akers, Kathryn Knudsen, and Jason Hackenwerth, where they take the notion of “it’s not that serious” to task with wit and playful aesthetics. The works in this exhibition are bright, colorful, and labor-intensive; equally approachable and raw.

Delve into the points of contrast between each artist - beneath the surface of each layer in Hackenwerth’s massive canvases, the curves of Aker’s light work, and Knudsen’s delicate fiber pieces - and experience the resounding collective call to both awareness and action. Alignment, like the heart of a big conversation, isn’t always obvious and this is especially true when one chooses to solely consider anything from social issues to fine art at face-value.

Curated by Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco and Gabe Torres
