A new Arts Gallery in West Philadelphia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Paulownia Projects is pleased to present:
Your Color is Green (a delirium), a two-person exhibition by Meghan Cox and Jacob Lunderby.
“And having heard, or probably read somewhere, in the days when I thought I would be well advised to educate myself, or amuse myself or stupefy myself, or kill time, that when a man in a forest thinks he is going in a straight line, in reality he is going in a circle, I did my best to go in a circle, hoping in this way to go in a straight line.”
Samuel Beckett, Molloy
Fever dreams, ontological crises and uncertainty flood the current exhibition by Cox and Lunderby at Paulownia Projects where unknown interlocuters, bad décor and delusional relationships contribute toward dislocated, invented realities.
Haunted by Charlie Kaufman’s films and Samuel Beckett’s texts, the artists use painting, animation and sound to limn spaces between fantasy and banality.
The exhibition space is filled with sounds of footsteps, crunching leaves and an electrical hum that vibrates with the color interactions between the carpet, the gallery walls and Cox’s paintings. A field guide for a phantom arboretum has been provided, but the plant identification app was hallucinating.
EXHIBITION DATES: March 15 - May 10, 2025
RECEPTION DATE: Saturday, March 15th, 4 – 7 pm
GALLERY HOURS: Thursday 12- 4 pm,
Friday 5-8 pm
Saturday 12- 4 pm or by appointment*
