As a devoted art enthusiast, I have been captivated by the allure of Sidecar Gallery’s latest exhibition, “There is Feeling.” The collection, showcasing the works of Sydney Acosta, Adrian Culverson, Catherine Fairbanks, Christopher Paul Jordan, Hea-Mi Kim, Kristy Luck, Roni Shneior, and Tran Truong, has left me in awe of its emotive power.
At Sidecar Gallery, the thought-provoking group exhibition named “There is Feeling” unfolds. Sydney Acosta, Adrian Culverson, Catherine Fairbanks, Christopher Paul Jordan, Hea-Mi Kim, Kristy Luck, Roni Shneior, and Tran Truong are among the artists showcased in this event. Curated by Eve Fowler and Artist Curated Projects (ACP), this exhibition explores the emotional depth of the night.
The exhibition takes its name from a work by Fowler, titled “in the evening there is feeling.” This phrase was previously displayed at the Night Gallery in Los Angeles’s Lincoln Heights, open from 10 PM to 2 AM between 2010 and 2013. It brings to mind the blend of emotions and sensations experienced during twilight hours, a time when the world seems both comfortably known and intriguingly unfamiliar.
Fowler’s writing is influenced by Gertrude Stein’s “Tender Buttons,” published in 1914 with modernist prose poems. Through her innovative use of language, Stein transformed ordinary elements into something strange and intriguing. In one of her poems, she contrasts the meanings of morning and evening, suggesting various perspectives on reality. The pieces in this exhibition reflect this emotional, mysterious logic that emerges as day turns to night.

In Roni Shneior’s artwork collection, the scenery takes on a role as a distinctive character. Her paintings combine people with landscapes in an unexpectedly humorous and surreal manner. The vertical structures, be it clouds, buttes, or buildings, rise from a violet mist, each one boasting a prominent, sculpted nose that juts out from the canvas. Adrian Culverson’s sculptures, crafted from sewn fabric, present bulbous shapes that distort natural scenes. These patterns transform into three-dimensional wonders before our eyes.
Additionally, Catherine Fairbanks’s artwork includes hazy figures resting near the horizon, resulting in spooky landscapes where the boundary between human form and the earth becomes indistinct. On the other hand, Kristy Luck and Hea-Mi Kim explore abstraction more deeply, constructing landscapes using interwoven, natural forms, multiple layers of colors, and intricate shadows.
