Courtney Bierman interviews Bemis Center curator Rachel Adams A free exhibition at the Bemis Center joins three artists’ work to explore intimacy as it relates to the body, relationships and space. “Intimate Actions” features solo exhibitions by Maria Antelman, Joey Fauerso and Paul Mpagi Sepuya . The exhibition will also serve as a jumping off point for a series of community conversations called “Public Assembly” which started this month and will continue through March and April. Courtney Bierman spoke to Bemis’ chief curator Rachel Adams for more. What is it about these three exhibitions that you think work well together? Something that I hadn't done yet since coming to Bemis was to curate three solo shows. When I was sort of thinking about this time slot — pre-pandemic, because these have been on the books for a little bit of time — you know, I was just looking for things that connected a little bit. And I think you're always pleasantly surprised that they actually connected a lot more than I thought they would. Yeah, I think it was just sort of being able to show a range of medium, the way that photography can be used differently between both Maria and Paul.
