Transformations: Dialogues in Art and Material
May 9–17, 2026
Transformations: Dialogues in Art and Material (May 9–17, 2026), the Spring “Art in the Barn” exhibition at browngrotta arts will take a focused look at materiality, examining how matter is shaped, reconfigured, and reimagined through skilled and thoughtful engagement. The exhibition will feature works by some three dozen international artists exploring a wide range of materials — ranging from clay, silk, and linen, to cotton, steel, bark, stones, seaweed, bamboo, and horsehair — highlighting both the diversity of material choices and the distinct outcomes achieved even when artists work within the same medium.
The works on view in Transformations will underscore diversity of process and approaches. The artists demonstrate what curator and historian Glenn Adamson terms “material intelligence,” a deep understanding of a material’s properties, histories, and expressive possibilities.
