Be In Touch

Opens January 29th, 2021

What do we value? Who is ‘we’? What is ‘value’? Where is everyone? Are you ok?

Be In Touch, is a series of new works by Caitlyn Galloway. The show, which includes painting and collage, looks for signs of life in the ­­­­disorienting loneliness and individuation of late capitalism, specifically from within the depths of pandemic isolation. Using an almost-legible vocabulary of numbers, letters, strokes and symbols, presented alongside escapist collages made from farm seed catalogues, the series is a critical digestion of the prevailing social order that defines value predominantly through transaction, and less through mutuality, vitality, and care.

Caitlyn Galloway is a visual artist based in San Francisco. Her work, often informed in part by her training as a sign painter and her experience as a farmer, is an ongoing study of all that is alive in the city.
