Neighbors features hand-carved found materials, layered imagery, and process-driven installations, Neighbors brings together three distinct artistic practices.
Neighbors brings together three distinct Brooklyn-based artists, Benjamin Heller, Simi Mahtani, and Allison Harrell Mistier to inaugurate Gather Center's programming. The exhibition highlights artists creating within our shared geography and their messages that inspire us to connect. The closing reception offers a final opportunity to view the exhibition, meet the artists, and see the new space in person.
Benjamin Heller works deeply at the core of material, transforming locally sourced wood and stone into quiet sculptural forms that articulate origin and change. Heller invites us to explore our sensory condition and relationship to texture in contradictory and evocative materials. Hands in soft embrace and aortal hearts emerge from stone and expanding on living fiber.
Simi Mahtani utilizes found and upcycled objects to create wall sculptures with varied color narratives and explorations with pattern, addressing the interior and exterior dialogue of place and identity. Mahtani is passionate about material impact and environmental advocacy.
Allison Harrell Mistier engages perception through text-based compositions that trace expressions of consciousness and shared resonance.
Gather is a balancing energy between unity consciousness and individual empowerment — authenticity built up to the place that it can inspire and be shared. Consciousness is complete when it is shared. Through brain–heart coherence, thought meeting feeling, topic meeting experience, Gather explores the vibration between personal empowerment and unity consciousness. Those are the big themes of our era. They underscore the energetic pivot we are making.
