Virginia Fleck: Reclaimed Revelations
On view through September 20, 2025

In an age defined by rapid consumption, Virginia Fleck’s work investigates the relationship between materiality and perception, urging a slower, embodied engagement with objects and space. Magical thinking — rooted in cultural superstitions and beliefs in unseen forces — plays a vital role in Fleck’s practice. By infusing her work with these notions, she taps into a collective cultural memory, where objects are not only functional but also symbolic. This connection between materiality and the metaphysical draws viewers into a space where the boundaries between the rational and the irrational blur, creating a heightened sensory experience that invites deeper contemplation.
