A joint exhibition by sister and brother artists Angelena McQuarter and Douglas McQuarter

Between Place and Memory brings together the distinct yet interconnected practices of sister and brother artists Angelena McQuarter and Douglas McQuarter. Through folk art and landscape, the exhibition explores how environments shape identity, history, and lived experience—revealing the quiet dialogue between where we are and what we carry.

Angelena McQuarter’s folk art centers memory, culture, and lived experience. Drawing from tradition, symbolism, and personal history, her work elevates everyday narratives often overlooked or erased. Figures, patterns, and visual storytelling function as acts of preservation—transforming memory into something visible, tactile, and enduring. Her work speaks to inherited stories and emotional truths passed through generations.

Douglas McQuarter’s landscape works move beyond depiction, treating land not as background but as presence. Fields, horizons, and open spaces hold emotional weight, suggesting memory embedded in terrain. His work invites viewers to slow down and consider place as something felt as much as seen—marked by time, atmosphere, and absence.

A free, participatory screening of Ang Lee's classic tale of love, repression, money & mortality. Handkerchiefs provided, everyone welcome.

When Brokeback Mountain was released in 2005, it immediately became a cultural touchstone. This film definitively summed up the pre-Stonewall era, quickly embedding itself within queer cultural memory. Artist Natalie Woodlock has been organizing screenings of Ang Lee’s film, handing out handkerchiefs at the beginning of the movie, and afterwards asking viewers to write down the scenes that make them cry. She embroiders the names of each person who sheds tears on their handkerchief, and illustrates each scene that brings viewers to tears for an artists’ book she is making. This project is a work of sentimental collaboration, highlighting the connective possibility and collective power of popular film. By illustrating the scenes from Brokeback Mountain that bring viewers to tears, Woodlock hopes to memorialize the circle of sympathy present at each screening in the pages of each book. Handkerchiefs provided.
