Ty Crisp: Becoming Ancestor
Opening reception: Friday, June 7, 5:00-9:00 PM
Gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

In this exhibition, Ty Crisp presents Protestant iconography of the American rural church. “These works are centered on a church organ from the late 20th century turned inside out,” he explains. The exhibition space will be transformed into the sanctuary of a fading paradigm, as Crisp will use remnants used in rural churches such as a pulpit, organ, hymn books, and more. This work was inspired after spending 2017 installing the woodwork in The Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville: https://youtu.be/Tuy-qmde-R4
