At Right Window, artist Jason Hanasik has turned November into a running series of individual shows under the general title of You roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine.
You roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine is a series of week long solo exhibitions. Noticing the generative nature of the intergenerational relationships in his own life, Hanasik tasked each invited artist to create a week long solo show with the stipulation that the artists collaborate with someone significantly older or significantly younger than they are. The result is a captivating series of projects which eloquently build on top of each other to collectively explore the themes of isolation, miscommunication, and expectations.
