Triangle Projects Presents! Jan 9, 2026 - Feb 7, 2026
North Loop West, Los Angeles, CA

North Loop West is delighted to announce Triangle Projects Presents!—a group exhibition co-organized by the gallery and Los Angeles-born curatorial venture, Triangle Projects, founded by artist Rebecca Shippee. The show brings together nearly 40 artists from four generations whose practices span painting, installation, video, sculpture, and photography, working in Los Angeles, Chicago, Mexico City, New York, and beyond.

Triangle Projects began in a one-hundred-square-foot room under the stairs in a studio building in downtown LA. Twelve solo exhibitions came to life in this unconventional space from April 2022 to March 2023, featuring artists including Aryana Minai, Angela Chen, Jenny Gagalka, Patrick-Earl Barnes, Carly Sheehan, Jacob Lenc, Pallavi Sen, Jayden Breen-Greco, Sophie Harpo, Eve Axness, Bahareh Khoshooee, and E. Saffronia Downing.

As The Apple Disappears Into Water And Sweetness In Our Bodies
Montserrat Gallery, August 19 - September 27
Montserrat College of Art, Beverly, MA




As the apple disappears into water and sweetness in our bodies, Earthen Clay’s first solo exhibition in Massachusetts, includes paintings and sculptures made in the last two years. Clay’s site-responsive installation for the Montserrat Gallery is concerned with the space that is generated from the proximity of beings and objects and the experiences that unfold from these encounters. Folds, stacks, and stains hold embedded material and ask for a prolonged looking across unstable ground. Wooden scaffolding hold, fix and bind, or allow for spaces to exist within fragments of exuberant color and texture that hold personal meaning.
