Idle Hands
Curated by Carlotta Cerrato & Jodi Hoover
At XOXO Gallery
Reception:
Thursday, July 24 | 4 to 8 PM
On View:
July 24 - August 28, 2025
Gallery Hours:
Tuesday - Saturday | 12 PM to 4 PM
Exhibition Statement:
XoXo Gallery is excited to announce Idle Hands, Traditional handicrafts such as sewing, quilting, and knitting continue to inspire contemporary artistic practice. Far from being monotonous or passive, the act of repetitive handwork can transcend these perceptions, evolving into a powerful form of active contemplation and subtle defiance.
Using work that includes or is inspired by these techniques Idle Hands reimagines them within a contemporary artistic context. The exhibit explores how repetition and tradition, once seen as mundane, can be harnessed as a profound artistic practice that both honors skill and challenges conventional notions of labor and creativity rather than simply a means of avoiding “the devil’s work”.

3100 Falls Cliff Rd, Baltimore, MD 21211
Falls Road and Roland Avenue back of the Fox Building

August 8 | 5 PM to 8 PM
On View:
July 5 - August 24, 2025
Gallery Hours:
Friday + Saturday | 12 to 4 PM
Exhibition Statement:
Rendered + Raw explores object and space as a constant negotiation. Informed by their environment, the meaning of objects is inferred through context visually, aesthetically, and theoretically. Exploring the environment as a variable in how art is perceived, Rendered + Raw deconstructs our relationship with temporality. In a world where meaning is created - how does space inform our judgement and relationship with art?
