FLOAT  Reception

Fort Point Arts Community

A summer group exhibition featuring:
Adria Arch, Cicely Carew, Carly Glovinski, Jo Lobdell & Eva Lundsager

FPAC Art Space

FLOAT takes its animating spirit from Mary Oliver's poem “The Ponds,” in which the poet wishes “to be willing / to be dazzled / to cast aside the weight of facts // and maybe even / to float a little / above this difficult world.” Conceived as a vivid, liberating embrace for the community, the exhibition offers a deliberate sanctuary from the heaviness of contemporary life — a spark of joy to carry visitors from summer into fall.The five artists interpret colors, shapes, and textures drawn from the natural world: petals caught in a breeze, shells swirling in surf, the colors of sunset captured in a jar, a tangle of clouds. United by a penchant for abstraction and movement, they diverge in their choices of material and process.Together, their work makes a case for joy as serious matter — not escape from the world but a way to be fully in it. To float is to be buoyed, to give weight over to something larger and trust it to hold you. FLOAT offers that suspension: a room to breathe in, to wander, to let color and form do their quiet, expansive work. Curated by Robin Hauck
