Fort Lewis College’s Art Gallery to host ‘somatic’ by Cydnei Mallory

Fort Lewis College’s Art Gallery will host “somatic,” an exhibition by artist Cydnei Mallory. The show will open Thursday and run to Oct. 20.

Mallory is an interdisciplinary artist interested in the relationship between materiality, labor and the body. Influenced by the industrial background of Pittsburgh, along with her family’s tradition of resourcing and restoring found materials, she incorporates everything from cast metals and rope to basic fabrics and hair into her work. She uses the body and materials of labor to explore issues surrounding stereotyped ideas of gender, sexuality and class. Her work establishes a timeline of self that moves between ancestral history to present realities and future possibilities. Her sculptures are referential bodies that explore issues and stereotypes of gender, sexuality, class, and race.

The exhibit will open with and artist talk at 1 p.m. Thursday in the Lyceum Auditorium at Center of Southwest Studies. Later, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., there will be an opening reception. Both events are free and open to the public.

The gallery is open Monday to Thursday and select Saturdays: Oct. 2, Oct. 16, Nov. 13 and December 4 from 11 a.m.. - 4 pm.

Note that face masks are required in all indoor spaces on campus regardless of vaccination status.
