About The Event
Carry is a solo exhibition of work by Marianna Peragallo featuring anthropomorphic sculptures that consider where love is rooted, where endurance and labor meet love and support, and how the world is changed by an accumulation of everyday acts of love. Sculptures that mimic banal household objects like garbage bags, plastic shopping bags, and cleaning supplies dually serve as containers for potted houseplants, becoming supportive structures for continued growth. Mutated beyond the possibilities of the human body to sweep, reflect, and contain, the works become sites of symbiotic relationships that recognize undervalued systems of support that help us rebuild and regenerate from adversity and loss once stretched beyond the confines of what we can contain.
About The Organizer
From our home in Lower Manhattan, HERE builds an inclusive community that nurtures artists of all backgrounds as they disrupt conventional expectations to create innovative performances in theatre, dance, music, puppetry, media, and visual art. By providing these genre-blending artists with an adaptive, flexible home for developing and producing their work, we share a range of perspectives reflective of the complexity of our city. HERE welcomes curious audiences to witness groundbreaking performances, responsive to the world in which we live, at free and affordable prices.
HERE strives to create an equitable, diverse, and inclusive home in which all people have fair access to the resources they need to realize their visions. We acknowledge structural inequities that exclude individuals and communities from opportunities based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, class, age, and geography, and seek to counter those inequities in our work. Through mindful actions on sustainability and regenerative practices, we work toward climate justice, and a safe, livable planet for present and future artmakers and audiences.
