Tonight's The Night: "Talking to Myself"

Every narrative involves the powerful interplay of memory and introspection that allows us to make sense of the world by defining who we are and how we fit in. In the second exhibition of Baang and Burne Contemporary's six-week art event, titled "6x6", artists Kesha Bruce and Jane Zweibel offer viewers a contemporary entryway to the rich tradition of storytelling in art.

The narratives Bruce and Zweibel present in Talking To Myself are composed of a mysterious mix of elements culled from the intimate terrain of memory, personal mythology, and the mundane remnants of everyday life.

From Zweibel's large format figurative paintings on canvas that pay homage to Caravaggio to Bruce's small delicate works on paper that render character and place through the use of minimalist text, each work in the exhibition speaks and relates to the next like non-linear chapters of a novel that doesn't easily settle neatly into a comfortable beginning, middle, and end.
