Gesture in Time
22 July 2025, Santa Rosa House
In Gesture In Time, presented by Faculty Projects, abstraction isn’t an escape from the world—it’s a way to enter it more deeply, in its rawest, most primal form.
I invited 18 contemporary artists whose works pulse with energy—not just through form, but through movement, vibration, texture, and conceptual depth. These gestures hold memory, sensation, and time. They’re charged with contemporary pathos, inviting you to feel—and to map your own internal landscapes through theirs.
—Janice Liuson-Young, curator of Gesture In Time, visual artist, and Associate Dean of the FEATI University School of Fine Arts
