“Go, soul, the body’s guest,
Upon a thankless errand;”
- The Lie, Sir Walter Raleigh

Ice Cream Social presents The Body’s Guest, an offsite exhibition hosted at Studio 9D exploring both problematic and necessary modes of multiplicity within the self. The self, when fractured, is forced to reconcile, regenerate, and form a state of plasticity for the ever-modified structure. The “other” within soothes, quietly shuts the door, listens, rattles, reverberates, and becomes “they”. They counsel, entangle, feed from the reserve stocks, and sing the siren’s call.

The small group show includes painting, assemblage, sculpture, fiber work, and analog + digital drawings. Featuring James Parker Foley, Carol Radsprecher, Farwah Rizvi, Alexandra Rutsch Brock, Nikki Schiro, Carter Shocket, Remy Sosa, Oakley Tapola, Carrie Wilmarth, and John Wright.

Join us for the reception on May 11th, National Twilight Zone Day, 7-9 pm!
