BoxoProjects will hold a for a closing reception tomorrow (May 7) for “Experiments in Transformation”, an exhibition of works created by Mojave-based artists Edie Fake and Aili Schmeltz during the isolation of the pandemic. Fake’s high-keyed abstractions are simultaneously figurative and abstract, combining recognizable household objects and dynamic geometries. Schmeltz’s thread-based paintings are largely monochromatic, abstract patterns of vibrating intensity that serve as analogs for lives shaped by gender issues. Schmeltz and Fake draw on their recent domestic isolation to reconsider cultural clichés, both resisting them and transforming them into new possibilities. The reception will be from 2-5 Saturday afternoon. BoxoProjects is located at 62732 Sullivan Road in Joshua Tree.
