Transformations: Dialogues in Art and Material

browngrotta arts
Wilton, Connecticut
May 9–17, 2026

browngrotta arts’s spring exhibition will take a focused look at materiality, examining how matter is shaped, reconfigured, and reimagined through skilled and thoughtful engagement. The exhibition will feature works by some three dozen international artists exploring a wide range of materials—including clay, silk, and linen, to cotton, steel, bark, stones, seaweed, bamboo, and horsehair—highlighting both the diversity of material choices and the distinct outcomes achieved even when artists work within the same medium. The works on view in Transformations will underscore diversity of process and approaches. The artists demonstrate what curator and historian Glenn Adamson terms “material intelligence,” a deep understanding of a material’s properties, histories, and expressive possibilities.
