Information’s exciting summer programming is kicking off with “Scapegoat Child Lost”, a solo show by !

Scapegoat Child Lost: Redemption Year, the Great Unlearning is an autobiographical exhibition exploring childhood trauma, neurodivergence, chronic illness and the long aftermath of abuse.

The Scapegoat is usually a victim of emotional and physical abuse by the narcissistic parent. The Lost Child is usually known as “the quiet one” or “the dreamer”. The Lost Child is the invisible child. They try to escape the family situation by making themselves very small and quiet.

Through objects, text, images, and participatory making, the gallery becomes a shared space for processing experiences often carried in silence. This work considers how harm—especially within families, institutions and systems of power—is not only enacted, but witnessed, normalized and allowed to continue.

The impact lives on in the body. Children raised without safety or clear boundaries often become adults navigating disorientation, self-doubt, and learned tolerance for harm.

Moving between personal memory and collective experience—viewing from a personal>local>global>personal lens—this exhibition traces a path from fracture to care—inviting reflection, connection, and the possibility of rebuilding an authentic sense of self.

Information is back again this Spring with Shoulder to Shoulder, Skin to Skin! This timely group exhibition is centered around one of the most consequential American cultural exports; Baseball.

The opening reception of this show will be on March 28th from 6-9pm (just in time for the opening weekend of the MLB season)! The show will feature work from Mary Champagne, Graig Kreindler, Jamison Mead, Bucky Miller, and Alexandria Nazar. Come join us!

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation, we aim to examine the grand contradictions of our national pastime and one of our most notable cultural exports in our exhibition: Shoulder to Shoulder, Skin to Skin. This body of work notes the complex contradictions & realities of our national pastime in a complete and confrontational manner.

Those who discount sports-baseball in particular—as frivolous do so at their own peril. Baseball is indeed a fun, recreational game; the sport is also a direct reflection, influence, and projection of our culture at large. Entire regions of the United States (and the world) base a large amount of their economies, logistics, and senses of pride into these matches. It’s a game of dichotomies.

Through baseball, people who were once persecuted may gain respect and acceptance in a society that holds little regard for them. Despite this public embrace for some, not every background is reflected in the players on the field. A glaring example is the dearth of openly out, LGBTQIA+ professional baseball players. Even though baseball is one of the few times in society that men are socially allowed to touch each other in sorrow, joy, comfort, & camaraderie.

The sport generated the richest athletes who have ever lived. Yet those at the very bottom of this hierarchy can make minimum wage or less, often with very little hope of ever changing their fortunes while represented by the strongest collective bargaining unit in the United States.

This work gives a glimpse into the thrilling, emotional and sometimes shameful ride that baseball can take her viewers through. Despite all of this, we believe in the power of the sport and want to share the love of it with everyone.

Information is eager to present, HAUNT: Particulars relating to some unaccountable noises in the House.

The opening reception of this show will be on December 13th from 6-9pm with a performance at 7:30pm! Come join us! There will also be an advanced preview of the show on December 6th from 5-7pm.

This upcoming exhibition hosts a series of new works and performances by in collaboration with & !

Welcome to my apartment - This body of work engages the wooden floor as both medium and mediator, situating the apartment not merely as private architecture, but as porous and sonorous sites of relationally. The creaks and groans of floorboards function as an acoustic index — a material trace that evidences contact, stress, and habitation. These sounds destabilize domesticity’s presumed enclosure, reminding us that “home” is co-constructed through the permeability of infrastructures and the audibility of neighboring lives. In this sense, the floor articulates a shared, involuntary intimacy: our movements circulate across surfaces, resounding as both presence and interruption.

The rubbings translate this acoustic-spatial condition into a visual archive. By pressing graphite against the fibrous lines of the floor, the work captures a double displacement: the vertical forest reoriented into horizontal plank, and the horizontal surface reinscribed as cascading sheets along the gallery walls. This gesture reanimates the floor as a suspended forest, a spectral ecology wherein the labor of bearing weight is transformed into an aesthetic of line, repetition, and descent. Tim Ingold has argued that materials are not inert but “storied”, carrying histories of growth and use; the rubbings operate precisely in this register, treating the floor as both witness and collaborator.

Information Space is pleased to present their first open call exhibition, The Dirt in Our Garden featuring 28 artists nationwide that do not hold fine art degrees. Please join us for an opening reception on September 14th from 5pm to 9pm. Amplifying the voices of artists that are self taught and untraditionally trained gives us a fuller picture of the range of work being made in our community of artists. Much like overturning or rotating a garden, we look to elevate new perspectives of typically overlooked artists.

The Dirt in Our Garden takes shape as a sprawling installation of works ranging from collage, drawing, sculpture, photography, painting, and ceramics, suspended between the physical and the astral plane. Hosting a number of local artists as well as creators from New York to Miami from Georgia to Portland. Bodies, human and beyond, are disfigured and out of place, not horrific but rather apparitions at the edge of vision. The landscapes and environment portrayed reach through historical propaganda to an intersectional struggle of the trouble with having a body.

A big thank you to everyone who submitted to our open call!! We will be contacting artist to confirm we’ve received your applications this week. Selected artist will be contacted in the following weeks. Stay safe out there.

Due to the snail-ness of snail mail we are extending our deadline one more week. This will allow napkins mailed late last week, and this week, to arrive to us before we select artist for our open call.

~We got our first application!~ Information is seeking proposals, sent on napkins, for our NAPKIN OPEN CALL group show.

Your application should consist of a ~single~ napkin. On this napkin we ask that you represent a ~single~ work. This representation should be done solely through mark-making (no photographs, no collage). Consider text (prose, poetry, a bulleted list) sketches, diagrams... We do ask that you expressly state the medium of your work (video, painting, sculpture, etc.), dimensions, and any pertinent installation details.

Information will jury the show using the napkins alone as criteria, acknowledging that there will be some inevitable slippage between our understanding of the work through provisional and restrictive mark-making and the work in its physical form.

Our NAPKIN OPEN CALL respects the napkin as a temporary document. We are also eager to displace moments of conception into the realm of presentation, as selected napkin proposals will be included in the show, physically and in the form of a publication.
