The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts presents a group show featuring nine new members of the acclaimed EFA Studio Program. Living Systems highlights the innovative and thoughtful approaches of this cohort of artists whose work spans photography, sculpture, installation, and film. Members are invited to join EFA for two years and represent the highest calibre artists selected by an independent jury panel.
The 2025 panel included Samira Abbassy (EFA co-founder), Mitra Abbaspour (Harvard Art Museums), Sarah Freeman (Brattleboro Museum & Art Center), Robert Dimin (Dinim Gallery), and Elle Burchill (Microscope Gallery). This year, we are pleased to add five new studios to our Midtown location and launch our renovated 3rd-floor gallery space.
Tail of the Cosmos
Satchel Projects is pleased to present Tail of the Cosmos, an exhibition of recent works by Cadence Giersbach, on view from May 22 through June 22, 2025. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, May 22 from 6–8 PM.
Tail of the Cosmos brings together a group of interrelated sculptures, paintings, and hybrid works that reflect the artist’s deeply held feelings about nature, the universe, and our place within it. Giersbach’s recent sculptures are poetic meditations on the connection between the terrestrial and the celestial. Beginning from a personally meaningful site — a garden the artist has been cultivating in the Western Catskills – Giersbach’s frame of reference expands outward, from the specificity of this meaningful terrain, to the ecological, the elemental, and the cosmic.
Two sculptures in the exhibition take the form of reimagined flowers. The larger of the two, Tail of the Cosmos, is a play on both verbal and visual language, as the word “cosmos” can refer both to the universe and to a genus of flower in the daisy family. The center of Giersbach’s flower is painted with small seed-stars. The stem undulates through space, changing from green to blue, and culminating in an orb-shaped form that could be a bulb or a rattle, adorned with celestial seed-stars that mirror or echo those on the front of the flower. In Giersbach’s words,
“I see the garden as a place of memory, sensation, and thought. I combine representations of living things and geological formations with symbols like spirals and stars to create work that describes aspects of the natural world and our small place in the universe through a metaphysical or fantastical lens.”
The theme of interconnectedness is also reflected in the material treatment of the works. continue reading
