Shapot Art Gallery presents Embedded by Steph Giera, a multi-faceted exhibit featuring thought-provoking artwork in a variety of mediums such as photography, video art, installations, assemblages, and interactive art.

Show Statement:

“Embedded” explores the profound emotional weight of the seemingly-simple everyday object, the bed. Inspired by the thesis for her Art History degree, Giera further delves into the subject with a concentration on its historical and autobiographical significance, while also challenging many essentialist theories. The bed is the location where most of us are born and where most of us will die. Where we sleep and wake. Where we cuddle and have sex. A place we go when we’re sick to become healthy. Where we experience every emotion from trauma to pure joy. “Embedded” invites the viewer to engage with the extraordinary within the ordinary, and to rediscover the world anew.

Exhibit Dates:

Saturday, March 29th - Sunday, April 13th

Closing Reception and Screening:

Sunday, April 13th 2-4 PM

The closing reception will include a final screening of the artist's short film Rites & Ritual starting at 2:15 PM. Steph Giera will be present for conversation and questions.
