Maybe you know this feeling – Alyson Provax
The Norco College Art Gallery is excited to announce our next exhibition “Maybe you know this feeling”, a solo show by text based artist Alyson Provax.
Alyson’s primary medium is letterpress and she often uses repetition as a drawing tool rather than to make multiple originals. This calls into question the didactic certainty of text and can cause the viewer to notice the experience of reading. She is interested in the ways that we communicate things we are a bit uncertain of and how we tie our understanding of ourselves to language.
Provax’s work has been exhibited widely, from A.I.R. Gallery and The Untitled Space in New York to the Blueproject Foundation in Barcelona, from Upfor Gallery in Portland, Oregon and the San Francisco Center for the Book, to large-scale projects with Montalvo Arts Center.
Alyson’s first book was published by Volumes Volumes in 2019, and in 2023 her second book was published by National Monument Press. Her work can be found in the collection of SFMOMA Library and Harvard University Library.
“Maybe you know this feeling” will be on view at the Norco College Art Gallery November 4 – December 6, 2024, with an opening reception & artist talk with Alyson Provax on Thursday, November 14, 12:30pm – 2pm.
Norco College Art Gallery at Norco College, 2001 Third Street, Norco, CA 92860
