Fragility: Embracing the Impermanence and Beauty of Life


Jason Myers is a prolific multi-disciplinary artist with studios in Indiana and the Netherlands. His artwork invites the use of such materials as steel, resin, and computer-generated prints. Complex, layered, and exquisitely executed, Myers’s work often questions our current political and socioeconomic environment. His exhibit, “Fragility: Embracing the Impermanence and Beauty of Life” opens October 6 at Long-Sharp Gallery Indianapolis. According to the artist: "The most interesting thing about life is that our mortality makes us 'all in'. No matter what you do, you are not getting out alive. We should live every day of life to its fullest potential. Take risks, do things that scare you. Fragility is what makes us feel alive. In some ways, we absorb this fear, in other ways we perpetuate it. Embracing this state of fragility is healthy and truly living, rather than just existing.”

The exhibit takes place concurrently with Myers's solo museum exhibition, "I Am Algorithm", at the University of North Carolina - Charlotte.

An artist reception and exhibition opening will take place at 1 N. Illinois Street, Suite A, Indianapolis 46204 on October 6th from 6-9pm.
