Turned and Turning Still
Curated by Kellie Lehr, Jamie Powell and Lisa Petker Mintz
The Painting Center is seeking submissions for the juried group exhibition Turned and Turning Still, curated by Kellie Lehr, Jamie Powell, and Lisa Petker Mintz. The exhibition will be on view from June 24 - July 19, 2025, and will be featured on Artsy. Turned and Turning Still invites work that embraces movement, change, and material experimentation. This exhibition celebrates the ever-evolving nature of artmaking—where creation is rarely linear, and change is constant.
We welcome work that reflects:
• The tension between stillness and motion.
• The layering and erasure of meaning or material.
• Shifts in technique, medium, or form.
• The process of construction and deconstruction.
• Concepts of becoming, impermanence, or identity in flux.
Artists across all styles and mediums—traditional and nontraditional—are encouraged to apply. Inspired by artists like Marcel Duchamp, Yayoi Kusama, Eva Hesse, Jasper Johns, Julie Mehretu, Oscar Muñoz, Sam Gilliam, and El Anatsui, this exhibition seeks work that embraces experimentation and transformation in all its forms.
