Shared State
Curated by: Jordan Buschur and Natalie Lanese
Dates: March 2, 2026 – July 10, 2026
“Shared State is a single group exhibition made up of a series of seven smaller, two-person exhibitions—each pairing artists with aligned material investigations and likeminded conceptual interests. Curating under the moniker Co-Worker Gallery, Jordan Buschur and Natalie Lanese take turns leading each curatorial selection, while collaborating on all other aspects of bringing an exhibition to life. The dialogue that occurs in this back-and-forth process is mirrored in the dialogue that grows between each of the paired artworks as they exist side-by-side in the gallery.
The pairings are a way to open conversations between two kindred artists, each working independently across Ohio. Much like two co-workers sharing an office or studio, these smaller exhibitions highlight similar ways of thinking and making artwork across the state. By positioning the exhibition as a site of overlap, new connections and possibilities can emerge.”
