Point of Entry is a collection of works made from the American Elm cut down on Brown’s Main Green in 2024. The artists featured in this show were selected to create pieces that consider the Elm as a point of mediation between private and public – to reflect on its significance and relevance to this moment and subsequently, to say something with this material. While the pieces vary widely in scope, theme, and narrative, they all use the Elm to name and respond to something specific and external. The dialogue between these pieces generates a portrait of the present that is not wholly reducible to individualized notions of artistic expression or subjective interpretation in the eye of the beholder. It pierces through this atomization to reveal that plurality is built upon relations that expand far beyond the individual and it is precisely through the divergence of perspectives that we come to know the contours of the world we share.
