We hope you’ll join us for one or more creative activations at Woven Intersections. This exhibition features Ascend, a site-specific rope, wood, and concrete sculptural installation by Teague McDaniel (they/them). Each event in this series is a unique site activation that engages with our ability to feel, perceive, or experience things subjectively—especially as it pertains to our geographic location in this moment in time.Tickets are available on Eventbrite or at the door.

As the culminating event of Woven Intersections (June 28–July 26), Body Language is a curated evening of performance art, movement, and embodiment, where artists confront systems of oppression, survival, and justice through the physicality of the body. Curated by Teague McDaniel and CII, this event explores how lived experience—particularly around disability, reproductive rights, memory, and grief—can be communicated in movement and stillness alike.The evening features performances by Von Bright, MG Bernard, Miles Zotti, Ryan Dorman, and others, offering deeply personal and politically urgent works that hold space for vulnerability, resilience, and resistance.WARNING: mature content warning for nudity and use of fake blood along with brief verbal references to topics including genocide and sexuality<h3> </h3><h3>Featured Works Include:</h3>MG Bernard – The Things They CarryA durational performance equating physical weight with the financial, emotional, and systemic burdens of disability. MG moves from gallery to gallery, carrying symbolic weight on their knees—a visceral confrontation with the hyper-ableism embedded in our systems.MG Bernard (she/they/ugh) is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, and crip witch whose practice weaves performance, installation, activism, and scholarship. Their work centers disability, queerness, post-humanism, and the collapse of binaries.Miles Zotti – Today We RememberA spoken word performance honoring the memory of Palestinian children lost to colonial violence. Reading from a growing list of names, Zotti invites deep reflection, grief, and accountability.Miles Zotti (he/him) is a multidisciplinary transmasculine artist working at the intersection of queer identity, decolonization, and digital media.Ryan Dorman – a hard thing to doA quiet, repetitive action turns sunflower seeds and memory into a meditation on the invisible labor of queer survival and the fragility of connection.ryan lee dorman (he/him) is a queer object-maker and metalsmith exploring the tension between personal history and cultural expectation through ritual and form.Join us for an evening where the body speaks in resistance, in remembrance, and in care.This final event of Woven Intersections invites us to witness the many ways art lives through and beyond the body.ABOUT TEAGUE: Teague McDaniel (they/he) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator who grew up in and is based in the Denver/Boulder.

There are approximately 12 parking spots, 3 of which are designated as accessible; one has a ramp access area. There is a paved, flat sidewalk between the parking lot and gallery that is about 30 feet long. The entrance has a swinging door with no automatic opener and a gradual 1-inch grate bump.There is one all-gender, accessible, single-occupancy restroom with a narrow entry from the hallway and a small table under the entry lightswitch near the door. The doorway has over 35 inches of clearance and includes a stability bar near the toilet. The gallery floor is flat concrete, and no scented cleaning supplies or air fresheners are used. Lighting includes bright fluorescent and natural light.The gallery will notify participants if flashing lights are present at any event. Sound echoes in the 500-square-foot space, and crowded openings can feel quite loud. There is one emergency exit—the same as the front entrance. Additionally, all five glass garage doors can be opened in case of emergency.The nature of the installation present in Ascend, makes for a more crowded intimate space since ropes are attached at diagonal angles from the floor to the walls making it so there are tight corners to navigate. While the artist paid particular attention to ADA clearances for exhibition design, the space will be more difficult to navigate than an open room. There is an approximately 10' x 10' space upon entry with no ropes and three of the ropes can be moved. Please let the gallery know if you would like the ropes to be moved or any of the garage doors to be opened in order to provide greater mobility through the space. We acknowledge the difficulty that this particular installation presents for those using mobility devices and/or with mobility related disabilities and thank you for any feedback or accommodations requests that will create greater access in this spatial installation. We plan to open garage doors to allow more maneuverability when possible.
