Welcome to Hive Highlights; a weekly exhibits roundup from Buffalo Hive. This showcase is
meant to point people to gallery openings, ongoing exhibits, closings, artist talks and
happenings in the visual arts community of Western New York for the week/end ahead. These
lists are not designed to be comprehensive, instead providing a keyhole into the creative hum of
our region.

1. Ann Clark: Interior Landscapes, on view at the Burchfield Penney Art Center
   ONGOING thru March 2, 2025,
   1300 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY, 14222

A celebrated fiber artist, Ann Clarke creates extraordinary works that provide
compassionate messages within compelling imagery. Her newest series, Interior
Landscapes, includes large-scale rugs installed on walls for museum visitors to
contemplate.

Ann Clarke is the Burchfield Penney Art Center’s eighth recipient of The Langley H.
Kenzie Award, created to honor and celebrate Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and
others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art
in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year.

2. Maria A. Guzmán Capron: Fitting Room, on view at University at Buffalo Center for the Arts, First Floor Gallery
   ONGOING thru May 18, 2025,
   201 Center for the Arts, Buffalo, NY 14260

Fitting Room is an exhibition of Maria A. Guzmán Capron’s tactile, textural wall works, as
well as new site-specific moveable curtains and a large-scale commissioned piece of a
hand-standing figure who will welcome visitors to the light well.

Guzmán Capron’s work explores cultural hybridity, a non-binary sense of self and the
competing desires to assimilate and to be seen. As someone who has moved between
and within multiple cultures, geographies and communities, Guzmán Capron’s works
respond to and celebrate the varying identities that we inhabit.

3. That Which Binds Us, on view at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum
   ONGOING thru May 12, 2025
   1285 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY, 14222

With fabric, weaving, embroidery, and other related materials, the fifteen artists in That
Which Binds Us reflect on what connects us and the experiences we share. This
exhibition gestures towards a world in which practices that were once the province of
domestic labor, women, and leisure pastimes eclipse our desire for digital experiences.
Instead, contemporary life is brought to the forefront in a rich tapestry of tradition,
identity, history and culture.

Featuring art by Ryoko Aoki, Kevin Beasley, Pia Camil, Aiko Hachisuka, Sergei Jensen,
Ann Greene Kelly, Gabriel Kuri, Charles LeDray, Britta Marakatt-Labba, Joiri Minaya,
Jordan Nassar, Rose B. Simpson, Meredyth Sparks, Eduardo Terrazas and Benji
Whalen, That Which Binds Us is drawn entirely from recently acquired works of art in the
museum’s collection.
