COOP is pleased to present skin deep by . In this exhibition, Hart navigates the thin membrane between vulnerability and performance. Turning to materials closest to these closed-door rituals, the quiet witnesses of perfection and erasure - acts that shape how we are seen and how we learn to see ourselves. These materials come from domestic spaces - where expectations of femininity settle like a film of dust. Hart chooses to distort and unravel them, and in that undoing, they are pushed to a point where they strain against their own histories. The exhibition invites viewers to look beneath the decorative and the desirable, to feel how the pursuit of the “ideal” can leave scars, and to recognize that what we dismiss as the surface is often the site of our deepest wounds.

Tenee’ Hart is an ‘unconventional’ fiber sculpture artist pursuing themes of feminism that delve into topics of beauty, anatomy, and the inequality of women. Wrapped fibers, gushing forms, and the manipulation of the ‘everyday’ are crucial components within Hart’s abstract works. Hart hails from Virginia, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Mary Washington in 2011, later earning her Masters of Fine Arts degree from Florida State University.

COOP is pleased to present Facing Forward, a solo exhibition by Hannah Langer ().

This exhibition confronts the idea of origin, loss, and confusion through paper documentation and hidden ceramic sculptural seeds. The installation is meant to remind viewers that through laying everything out something new can be discovered. Instead of living in fear that embracing what makes us different is what makes us who we are. That through showing that to the world the world often answers back through others connecting with what it means to be missing a part of our story, but not being lost.

Hannah Jun Langer was born in Anhui, China and raised in Massachusetts after being adopted as a baby. She graduated from the College of Wooster in 2021, receiving a Bachelors of Art in Studio Art and English. While at Wooster, her work was displayed at the Sussel and Mackenzie Galleries. She recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Master in Fine Art with a concentration in ceramics. Her most recent exhibitions include the Dogwood Arts region exhibition in Knoxville, Tennessee and Will of the Kiln in New Haven, Connecticut.
