Ferleman Gallery presents 9 N. Centre Street open Saturday 12pm – 8pm "What About the Women" Launching on November 1, 2024, with a public reception at 5:30 pm. The exhibit will run through December 31, 2024, offering an in-depth exploration into the themes of femininity, resistance, and the cultural dynamics surrounding the female identity. Kim Klabe’s What About the Women is a bold, contemplative journey that disrupts traditional narratives around womanhood. Using mixed media, Klabe juxtaposes gestural abstraction with textured layers of text and symbol, crafting pieces that engage viewers with the complexities of identity and the political struggles embedded in the female form. Her work transcends visual art, invoking powerful discourse on the spaces women occupy within both societal perceptions and their personal realities. What About the Women is not just an exhibit; it’s a critical space for cultural dialogue. Ferleman Gallery, situated in the Appalachian mountains of Western Maryland at 9 North Centre Street, provides the ideal setting for Klabe’s discourse on femininity. Known for its commitment to contemporary and historical currents, Ferleman Gallery continues its tradition of sparking meaningful conversations that reflect on evolving societal roles. Join us for the opening of What About the Women and engage with a powerful, thought-provoking examination of the modern female experience. www.ferleman.com
