LVL3 presents Shapeshifters, a two-person exhibition of new works from Dan Devening (Chicago, IL) and Allison Jae Evans (Brooklyn, NY).
Dan Devening and Allison Jae Evans journey through shapes, corporeal gestures, and societal narratives that challenge, evoke, and confront. The intersection of 60s graphic design elements with references to contemporary cultural phenomena, like underground culture and mediated interactions, punctuate the tensions innate in our collective pursuit of connection and cultural advancement.
Shapeshifters is a celebration of rawness and vulnerability, expressing a dynamic interplay of forms that subvert the expected. Harnessing a palette rich with tension, Dan Devening and Allison Jae Evans compel viewers to navigate the buoyancy and despondence within societal frameworks, challenging the gravitas of power and the latent desires that underscore our universal human experience.
