The Body Narrative Collective began at Red Lodge Clay Center where they convened for a residency in 2019. Since that time, Tammy Marinuzzi, Pavel Amromin, Magda Gluszek, Meghan Sullivan, and Jill Foote-Hutton have remained in contact, supporting each other through the pandemic in conversation and creativity. Each maker deals with the figure in some capacity and the work is often driven by story.

Uncertainty: The Only Guarantee, is the first group exhibition of the collective. The concept of the exhibition is rooted in the fable of Chicken Little who proclaimed, “The Sky is Falling.” Since 2020 it has certainly felt that way and in this exhibition the artists will explore how during the darkest times, there is always still a little hope. Informed not only by the western version of Chicken Little, but also by iterations of the story that appear around the globe.

Sometimes the creatures fulfill their proclamation, they speak the worst scenario into being. In other versions, the intelligent and calmer voices bring everyone to a place of calm and peace.
