SUMMARY:Loading Proxies... a duo art exhibition by Lindsay Carlton and Komal Goswami
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: May 29\, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nJoin us Friday\, May 29\, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the duo art exhibition\, “Loading Proxies…” by Lindsay Carlton and Komal Goswami! \n\n\n\n“Loading Proxies…” is a duo exhibition between artists exploring the proxy as both embodied and simulated. \n\n\n\nStatements from the artists: \n\n\n\nLindsay Carlton: My work utilizes self-portrait photography as a method of avatar performance\, where I use my own body as a tool to construct and perform characters that are separate from myself—proxies rather than representations of my own identity. Through these works\, I explore how femininity and gendered archetypes are performed through digital media\, cinema\, and the history of visual culture. Throughout my work\, I also remix and reference existing imagery from popular culture\, using these visual languages to construct my characters. The works exist in the tension between seduction and abjection\, where femininity is both performed and destabilized\, exposing the constructed nature of idealized beauty.  \n\n\n\nKomal Goswami: My work employs 3D/CG generation\, creative coding\, and digital imaging processes to further investigate “living in the hyphen” culturally and tangibly\, exploring the evolving landscape of human expression\, meaning\, and thought within an increasingly digitally assimilated world. These works emerge from experimentation with the detachment of the self through busts that are 3D-rendered\, 3D-animated\, or digitally replicated. Using my own likeness and animal-based mythic forms as source material\, and referencing both Hindu and Western portrait conventions\, I create abstract self-portraiture and portrait forms that deny autobiography. Instead\, these figures – suspended between portrait\, avatar\, idol\, and simulation – operate as provisional proxies through which identity and embodiment are continuously generated\, processed\, and displaced between the “reel” and the “real” world.  \n\n\n\nThis exhibition will be on view through June 5\, 2026.
