STAMP Gallery
About Us
The gallery is dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary art with an emphasis on the work of emerging and mid-career artists. The gallery supports contemporary art that is challenging and/or academically engaging and that addresses broad community and social issues. Through meaningful exhibitions and programming the gallery offers an outside-of-the-classroom experiential learning opportunity. The gallery space can be used as a laboratory for emerging artists and curators to experiment and work through their ideas, emphasizing the importance of the process to contemporary artistic practice. The gallery serves by providing exhibitions of social responsibility and artistic substance, as well as by offering an educational forum in which dialogue between artist and viewer and art and community is encouraged.

During the Opening Reception
Performers: Ava Burke, Dan Ortiz Leizman, Ian E McDermott, and Wednesday Kim
Free and Open to the Public
The Stamp Gallery is pleased to present Between Signal and Noise, an exhibition featuring artists Wednesday Kim and Joshua Prince. In their respective multidisciplinary practices, Kim and Prince apply technological methods and materials to build and rebuild connections—whether between the viewer and the artist, the conscious and the unconscious, the individual and the collective, or the human and the non-human. Rooted in processes of assemblage, these works acquire a monumental presence that transcends materiality itself: they invite the viewer to engage in a multisensorial encounter, reconstructing themselves from space into memory through the body.
