Personal Prospecting: 2020 Residency Exhibition
Curated by Katrina Majkut

Trestle Art Space is thrilled to present Personal Prospecting: 2020 Residency Exhibition, curated by Katrina Majkut, and featuring the work of fourteen artists from our 2020 Residency Program. Participating artists include: Jessica Alazraki, Marc Dessauvage, Maria Dimanshtein, Yen Ha, Weihui Lu, Caitlin Miller, Sara Minsky, Sal Muñoz, Lydia Nobles, Lana Price, Kira Schnitzler, Benjamin Staker, Tracy Szatan, and Kazumi Yamazaki.

Statement by Katrina Majkut:
Throughout this exhibition, each artist intimately explores the impact of public and politicized experiences, such as religion, sex, sexuality, identity, race, and the body on the self. Prospecting is often misperceived as the idea that people, in the face of hardship, are only out to benefit themselves. No matter how dark these personal experiences may be, each artist uses both medium and concept to suggest that these negative influences and politically charged times are not permanent and are, in fact, changeable. In reality, prospecting is the optimistic belief that there are better possibilities out there. The artists’ hopeful convictions on this matter are so strong that their philosophies often reach into the realm of spirituality. Trestle’s residents offer their personal reflections, observations, and experiences as a platform for others to grow with them and to create artwork that envisions a more positive future together.
