“The Everyman” is a group show curated by Lisa Alley inspired by revelations of the grandiose and the exceptional that permeate life’s subtler moments, with works spanning artistic mediums in celebration
of the often overlooked rhythms of the commonplace. The showcase
pays homage to the archetypal Everyman, who since the ages of
Medieval theater has served to usher in a contemporary and populist
vision of the human spirit, forging narratives from the materials of everyday existence as a gateway to something more profound. Grappling with themes of memory, mortality, and legacy, “The Everyman” takes a deeply humanistic view of its cast of working class heroes, unearthing
the moments of transcendence undergirding their daily toils and triumphs.
