Ortega y Gasset Projects is a space for artists by artists, and has become a hub for a larger community of artists. This project represents our collective belief in the power of art to make change. Around OyG, our own paths circle at different speeds, intersect, and run parallel, influencing, and collaborating as we go. Our group is intersectional and varied, from our artistic practices to our geographies to our identities: a range reflected in this exhibition. We gather to witness these current times, working through the challenges of today, and modeling a way through, together.

Just as our paths orbit around this community, so too each work is its own pathway around a node of artistic interest. The works are specific and individual: up-close photography, ceramic sculpture, graphite textured surfaces, painted scenes, collaged cyanotypes, and abstracted photographic environments record different physical, temporal, and thematic processes. Yet, when seen together, co-ordinate, like a mapped cosmos, they reveal unexpected connections within our orbiting system.

This is an exciting opportunity to see the works of Ortega y Gasset co-directors and the community they continue to cultivate in conversation. The immense variety here thrills and reinforces the vision of this collective endeavor as having the capacity to hold and nurture different possibilities. Together we are in orbit, hurtling through, individually and connected.
