200- and 300- Level Exhibition

Hallucinations brings together three new, interrelated series by Lisa Iglesias that frame perception as layered, contingent, and in motion. Composed of acrylic paint on paper, translucent materials, and repeated relief prints of domestic objects, the works unfold through veils, screens, and patterned surfaces that shift as the viewer moves. In 100 cartas a la luna, multiple levels of paint are applied on both sides of each paper through staining, pouring, pooling, and relief printing, often in collaboration with Iglesias’s young children. Privacy screens, halftone fields, and layered applications of paint function as perceptual filters—at times obscuring, at others revealing images, gestures, and bodily impressions. Across the exhibition, weft and warp structures echo textiles, as household materials are translated into digital, cosmic, and architectural forms.

Step back into the vibrant world of the 1920s and 1930s with Jazz Age Illustration, a major exhibition exploring the art of popular illustration during this transformative era. Featuring over 100 works by renowned artists such as Aaron Douglas, John Held Jr., and Frank E. Schoonover, the exhibition delves into the cultural impact of illustration during a time of dramatic social change.

Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942—a vibrant and transformative era of innovation, evolving styles, social change, and expanding popular media.

Kevin Beasley lives and works in New York. His practice spans sculpture, photography, sound, and performance, while centering on materials of cultural and personal significance, from raw cotton harvested from his family’s property in Virginia to sounds gathered using contact microphones. Beasley alters, casts, and molds these diverse materials to form a body of works that acknowledge the complex, shared histories of the broader American experience, steeped in generational memories. In March 2023, Kevin Beasley released A View of a Landscape, a 300-page book and double LP record, conceived as equal elements and designed together. The publication was produced in collaboration with the Renaissance Society and The University of Chicago Press. A selection of recent exhibitions and performances include Tell it anyway, a performance with Ralph Lemon as part of his solo exhibition Ceremonies Out of the Air at MoMA PS1, New York, NY in November; and performed previously at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN in October (2024); Get in the Game, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA (2024); Edges of Ailey, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY (2024); 15th Gwangju Biennale: Soundscape of the 21st Century, Gwangju, South Korea (2024); Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art, which traveled from the Barbican Centre, London; to the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Netherlands (2024); The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse, which traveled from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, VA (2021); to the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston, TX (2021); Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR (2022), and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, CO (2022); Prospect.5, New Orleans, LA (2021), in which Beasley realized a multiyear site-specific project in the Lower Ninth Ward; a series of outdoor performances for the Performa 2021 Biennial, New York, NY; a month-long residency and solo exhibition at A4 Arts Foundation, Cape Town, South Africa (2020); and ASSEMBLY, organized by Kevin Beasley, Lumi Tan, Tim Griffin, and Nicole Kaack, The Kitchen, New York, NY (2019).

In Pegasus Gallery and The Niche:

February 9 – March 20, 2026

Opening Reception on Thursday, February 12, 4:30-6:30pm at Pegasus Gallery.

The evocative imagery of Nancy L. Greco’s drawings occupy ethereal spaces where dreamlike myths and fleeting memories shape a realm of endless potential. Human and animal forms are prominent themes that appear contained by and yet freely float within surreal, natural and architectural settings. Dynamic juxtapositions and unexpected perspectives untether her representational imagery from traditional contexts and invite the viewer to explore the elusive nature of memory - fragmented, incomplete but undeniably vivid.

Greco’s drawings, prints, and paintings have been exhibited internationally throughout her 50+ year career. She holds an M.F.A., from The Ohio State University (Columbus) and an M.A. and B.A. in Art Education from Southern Connecticut State University. See more of Greco’s work on her website at: www.nancylgreco.com
