To bring 2025 to a close, Lane Meyer Projects is exceedingly proud to present Narcissusisus, an expansive group exhibition featuring 6 Denver-based curators: Mansour Al-Amin, Kiah Butcher, Manuel Ferreira, Sharifa Lafon, and Jenny Nagashima, invited by and including Brooke Tomiello. Drawing from their respective art networks and social circles, each curator is responsible for an 8 foot section of wall in the gallery. A celebration and a critique of the inner workings of opportunity in the arts, Narcissusisus is an invitation to reflect.
Boasting a list of over 20 artists from around the country, Narcissusisus makes no claims to objective curation; artists featured are friends and art community - the notion of the “art world” as insular and built on nepotism is the driving concept behind the exhibition. Yes, featured artists are wildly talented, unique, and skilled, and yes, they are likely personal friends of the curators and have long standing ties in art circles. This unspoken truth is a strength and a weakness of all industries, creative and fine art spheres not excepted. This truth, however, does not preclude works from being deserving of our attention.
Both deathly serious and totally just kidding, Narcissusisus satirizes the idea of capital “A” art, placing its infamous cliquishness and self-importance front and center. This open secret is attacked from six fronts, as curators operating in different modes with varied interests and specialties share space in Tomiello’s final exhibition as Director and Curator of Lane Meyer Projects. Narcissusisus lets viewers in on the joke while simultaneously embodying it.
Artists include Audrey Bialke, Chris Bristow, Canyon Castator, Srikar Hari, KT Hickman, Ray Hwang, Lisa Larson-Walker, Francesca Lipinsky, Michael Mahalchick, MaryV, Olivia Oyamada, Ian Park, Corey Presha, Cyrena Rosati, Aaron Storck, RJ Supa, and Magnus Vogel.
