For the debut Friends Fair, Northern–Southern presented a room withn a theme, the inevitable return of unstoppable life. More specifically, May in Central Texas. In the bathroom was a creek between the streets. In the main room: wild color, new leaves, odd stones, funny animals, and people doing their things.

talks with Andrew, Michelle, Renée, and Emma, moderated by Phillip
Andrew Humke — painter originally from Ohio. New to Austin, he is often in Marseille, France, where he is represented by Southway Studio. He contributes an oil on large canvas—a paradox of empty bowls filling each other.
Michelle Marchesseault — painter originally from Indiana, working between Austin and New York. She most recently showed her Pompeii paintings at NADA Miami 2023. In the show are three recent paintings: a quartet of queer friends unite on a rural walk, family history as knick knacks on a wavy shelf, and a joyful apotheosis of linked breath and pasta.
L. Renée Núñez — indigenous painter and dancer, working in Lago Vista. This is her first show with Northern-Southern. She paints two landscapes each stretched on the wall. Each sensuously depicts a symbiotic network of life without people.
Emma Rossoff — sculptor and a recent graduate from the UT MFA program with a BA from Columbia. Originally from New York, she is working in Austin. Her most recent shows were at Shed~Shows and the Cage Match at Museum of Human Achievement. Northern-Southern is excited to show a suite of new sculptures: disembodied hands grip and caress each other in surreal and often funny oppositions and conflations.

spirit forms, continuous and ever-changing & describes Alesi’s art and practice: flowing always to new forms and new reasons. Alesi works in a series:, each an era in a moment, marking the emotional time of the making. They seldom revisit a series. Alesi moves to the next one, and the next, and the next. And, and, and.
a solo show as a community & is a Stella Alesi solo show as a community. Alesi invited four artists to contribute—friends and those they admire from afar. All searching abstractionists, seeking to make a spirit material. Each artist balances rigor with freedom, finding the eternal in the moment of making: Momo, Michelle Marchesseault, Michael W. Hall, and Evan Horn.
