Market/Value
Reniel del Rosario, Kathryn Kenworth, Kevin Lopez Pardillo, Madi Reyes, Jasmine Ross, and Jeffrey Sincich
August 19-November 10, 2026
These interdisciplinary artists turn the gallery into a marketplace with a series of storefronts exploring identity and nostalgia, empire and desire, ecology and place to reveal the ways that consumerism shapes our daily lives. Through a variety of art practices, these artists make us aware of the visual artifacts of capitalism that surround us and the cultures, histories, and values they reflect.
About the artists:
Reniel Del Rosario uses ceramics, quantity, and satire to discuss themes of commodification and value. His projects range from interactive mimicries of consumer establishments to reimaginings of artifacts. Kathryn Kenworth makes work that looks at how ordinary objects and materials can tell stories about social dynamics, personal desires, emotional structures and systems of value. Kevin Lopez Pardillo works with mixed-media sculptural installations and airbrush painting, focusing on the rasquache politics of "making do," an ideology that originated within Mexican and Chicano working-class communities. Madi Reyes is a graphic designer specializing in branding, packaging design, and illustration. Jasmine Ross is a photographer and mixed-media artist whose work explores intergenerational memory, Black cultural preservation, and the communities sustained through everyday acts of care. Jeffrey Sincich is inspired by the built landscape around us and how we interact with it. His work uses quilting and found objects to represent feelings of comfort, tradition and history.
