Loaded

Utilizing parchment paper, cellophane, tin foil, black paint, water and lighting, Mari Mathlin's installation explores interconnectivity, creating an environment that blurs the line between process and product.

Hair and Nails Gallery is proud to present Loaded, a solo exhibition
featuring the work of Finnish artist Mari Mathlin. Mari will be traveling from her home in Iceland to install the exhibition, give an artist talk, and attend the opening reception. This is a collaborative endeavor between three creative organizations, to initiate an international artist
exchange fostering cross-cultural and creative dialogue. Hair and
Nails Gallery is hosting the exhibition and national arts nonprofit
Art Shape Mammoth, a placeless organization, is curating and
organizing the exchange. The Future, a new Minneapolis creative
residency program, will host our visiting artist Mari Mathlin.

Mari’s exhibition will feature process-led work, informed by her
materials. Her process allows the chain of events leading up to the
finished installation to link each piece, through previously occurring
and subsequent stages of development. Utilizing parchment paper,
cellophane, tin foil, black paint, water and lighting, Mari’s
installation explores interconnectivity, creating an environment that
blurs the line between process and product, physically allowing the
viewer inside of her working process.
