Ancient Ordinary is a visual art exhibition by Alex Panzer and Kaleb Wesolek that aims to reflect on and reinterpret the objects that frequent our lives. This concept is explored through pieces that represent ordinary objects. The Artifacts, The Ancestor, The Sitter, and The Chair all presented as if stumbled upon by an archeologist of the future mulling over ancient humans.

The mundane suddenly becomes the most interesting without the context of the object. One of the most mundane and ubiquitous objects, the chair, was chosen for reinterpretation. Used simply to sit and rest, think, consume. What if our understanding of the mundane was not so obvious and universal? The Chair answers this question through re contextualization.

This theatre-dance work follows Ayana, a young African American college student with roots in Latin and West African culture. Deeply connected to all three worlds yet fully claimed by none, she is overwhelmed by her competing identities. As she falls into a dreamlike state, she is guided by Griot — a keeper of ancestral memory, and three cultural Elders representing Latin, African American, and West African traditions.

Through dance, spoken word, drumming, and collective movement, this story explores identity as layered rather than fragmented. At its heart, Echoes of Heritage is about reclamation; how ancestry lives in the moment, how culture survives in the body, and how one young woman learns that she is not torn between worlds — she is the echo that carries them forward.

Created and directed by Kishema Pendu Malik and Jason Nious.

The Donna Beam Gallery presents the MFA Thesis Exhibition of Kayla Lockwood: read the fine print. Lockwood is a multidisciplinary artist whose work interrogates domesticity, memory, and emotional labor, challenging the myth of home as a stable cornerstone of the “American Dream.” She holds a BFA in Art & Technology from the University of Oregon and is currently pursuing her MFA in Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Lockwood’s read the fine print is a two-floor installation that examines how mid-century domestic ideology structured behavior, perception, and social hierarchy through spatial and material systems. Referencing the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation grading system and postwar suburban expansion, the installation reveals how access, mobility, and stability were unevenly distributed.

The exhibition runs April 13-24. A 1950s-themed closing reception (period clothing encouraged but not required) is April 24 from 5 to 8 p.m. An artist talk will take place on April 22 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Barrick Museum auditorium. All free, with more info at Get Tickets.
