LITTLE BIRDS & Our Daily Prayers
May 7-June 28 2026
The Locker Room is pleased to present Little Birds and Our Daily Prayers, a group show co-curated with Cameron Barker, opening in May and running through Pride Month, accompanied by a series of public programs. Faygeleh, in Yiddish, means "little bird," and has historically been used as a slur for "girly" boys. This exhibition imagines a reclamation of the term—birds, after all, possess an extraordinary ability to find their flock even in dire conditions. Girly boys, boyly girls, and all our siblings who do not fit—we sing a similar song and we listen. We answer one another's prayers.
Bringing together thirteen artists of various backgrounds and ages, the exhibition moves beyond queerness as identity and toward queerness as essence—a divine energy that animates mundane life, irrepressible and embodied, swishing our hips and lisping our lips. The twenty-two works on view are largely moody monochromes or limited color palettes, signifying a celebratory muddying that occurs with perseverance. Rites, traditions, and rituals are often associated with organized religion, but queerness is a language so ancient that religion can only attempt to mimic its cadence. Our rites are counted in bumps in the road beneath motorbikes, in sweat sacraments made on dark dance floors, in daily shacharit enacted through the wettest application of lip gloss imaginable.

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, 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.
