Hexus Femifesto
Hexus is an anonymous, artist-led curatorial collective seeking, finding and promoting mysticism through visual, performance and sound art. Formed among soulmates in 2018, our work is rooted in alterity theory and concerned especially with intersectional activism encompassing disability, queer folks, cyberfeminism, alliances with POCs, and anticapitalism. We emphasize collectivity as a strategy to reveal the importance of care and mutual dependency in resistance to socially dominant ideas about the productive bodymind within patriarchal capitalism.
Exhibition: Altar(er) Hex
Exhibition Dates: October 31, 2019 to January 3, 2020
Location: The Temple, 2400 Curtis Street, Denver, CO 80205
Butterfly Effect, as part of Lighthouse Writers Workshop’s 2019 Big Read (a program of the National Endowment for the Arts), explores the ways political resistance ripples through a family, a community, and a nation as inspired by Julia Alvarez’s In the Time of the Butterflies. The exhibition features six current or former Denver-based artists—Tya Anthony, Carol Golemboski, Suchitra Mattai (courtesy of K Contemporary), Tony Ortega (courtesy of William Havu Gallery), Daisy Patton (courtesy of K Contemporary), and George P. Perez—whose work speaks to various aspects of the novel’s themes.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of displayed artworks will benefit Lighthouse’s Fellowships for free or partial tuition to workshops, master classes, and extended programs for talented writers experiencing financial hardship.
Untitled Final Fridays just got even more creative. Each event is completely artist designed and delivered, highlighting each partner's unique talent and vision. Experience the museum in an entirely different way—every time.
Untitled is included in general admission. Members receive free admission to every Untitled event and all the special programming that happens inside. College students with valid ID receive 2-for-1 admission.

Artist Statement
Delirium is a state of acute temporary confusion making it difficult to think, remember, sleep, pay attention, and express oneself verbally. Delirium may last a few hours, as long as several weeks, or in some cases, several months. According to medical diagnosis, delirium is usually caused by alcohol withdrawal, after major surgery, or as a by product of dementia. In the case of reflecting on our current state of the division of society, resurgence of racism and the Presidential Administration of the United States, delirium due to dismay may last for the next two to six years or longer. Depending on the actual cause of the delirium, treatment may include but is not limited to elimination of usage of specific media outlets who provide the distribution of subversive and counterproductive information. Dealing with the daily dismay of social media timelines that have lead to a wide variety of fractured relationships, friendships, and actual political progress, Delirium allows participants to visually express their anxiety through performance photography and collage. Do not worry, full recovery from delirium is possible with the appropriate treatment. It can take up to a few weeks for you to think, speak, and feel physically like yourself. One might have side effects from social media withdrawal methods used to treat this condition.
Dates: February 28 – March 22, 2019
Reception: Thursday, March 28, 2019. 5-8 pm

Using photographic media as a foundation for their work, the seven artists in Settlers convey, figuratively and abstractly, the colonization of the American southwest. Whatever their motive and means—most came voluntarily, others were forced or coerced—the occupation of indigenous land is something that continues with every wave of Colorado “native” and newcomer.
Collectively, the images in the show represent settlers from the late-19th century to the present decade. Looked at from a Native American perspective, these people might be thought of as alien invaders. Settlers is not a judgment of this, but it is a reminder that for every “new” territory there is an old, stolen one.
The show's deliberate ambiguity is intended to kindle subjective associations and tangential connections. Settlers takes place during the 2019 Denver Month of Photography and works have been selected to align with the range of art-making conducted at Art Gym, most especially print-making. All the artists are from the Denver metro region; their works span more than 60-years of artmaking, 1950-2015.

Exploring the notion division through identity, culture, space, and time, each artist presents their distinctive and personal vision using a wide variety of materials and techniques, which in themselves become part of the division.
Now That I Have Your (un) divided Attention launches the 2019 theme of D | Vision, a series of exhibitions that will explore the relationship between social, cultural or political division and artistic vision. Throughout the year, RedLine's exhibits, special events, and programs will seek to investigate the ways in which division opens space for new creation and perspectives or how culture makes vision out of division.
RedLine would like to thank the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Colorado Creative Industries, Denver Arts & Venues, Lynda M. Goldstein Foundation, Hemera Foundation, The David & Laura Merage Foundation, The Louise Merage Foundation, The Olson-Vander Heyden Foundation, RBC Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and our supporters and members for making this program year possible.
