"Round 24: Ritualware" features Austin-based artist Ariana Kimball, whose sculptural installation explores care, ritual, and the quiet labor of keeping things alive. "Round 24: Ritualware" brings together both elemental and domestic objects inside the cage. Plants growing in hydroponic cells, chia-covered pillows, and beaded strings are placed along the walls and inside the cage.
In the center sits a tree trunk with a mandala motif carved into its diagonal cross-section. The mandala and the seven-pointed star become a visual compass, orienting the cage in relation to the movement of the sun and moon. These materials evoke the cyclical behavior of both humans and of the universe.
The Cage Match Project gallery lives in an industrial caged-trailer that resides in a gravel parking lot outside of The Museum of Human Achievement.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through September 6.
