Carbondale Arts presented “(Re)Location: Perspectives of Two” a 2-person exhibition by artists Louise Deroualle and Molly Frantz at the Carbondale Arts Gallery on display July 5 through August 8, 2024. The opening reception took place on First Friday, July, from 5-7pm at The Launchpad, with an artist talk at 5:30pm.
“Porcelain Memories”, a solo show featuring works by artist Dara Hartman ran concurrently (July 5 - August 8) in the second gallery space.
“(Re)Location: Perspectives of Two” featured artists Louise Deroualle and Molly Frantz. Both artists addressed themes around upheaval and settling, expressing the emotions associated with rearranging the landscape of one’s inner world. It came from the shared process of finding new forms against the backdrop of old memories and thought patterns.
