ArtCube BOXED OUT, U-Haul BOXED IN on Third Thursday Orlando

On Thursday, October 16 from 5–8 p.m., Parramore Arts presents a double-header exhibition at Interstruct Design + Build, 814 W. Church Street, during Third Thursday Orlando.

  • BOXED OUT, curated by Angela Hinton, is a multimedia installation by Shannon Rae Lindsey debuting in ArtCube, a glass-fronted shipping container micro-gallery. BOXED OUT will be on display through December.
  • BOXED IN, curated by Pat Greene, transforms five U-Haul trucks into pop-up galleries for one night only, featuring work by Matt Roberts, Leah Sandler, Erica Greear, David Henley, and Natasha Radovicz Schaidt.

All are welcome to the opening on Thursday, October 16, from 5–8 p.m. at Interstruct, 814 W. Church Street in Parramore, featuring an Artists’ Talk  at ArtCube at 7:15 p.m. Free onsite parking will be available, along with a complimentary shuttle from CityArts (Pine & Magnolia) in Downtown Orlando.

BOXED OUT in ArtCube

Lindsey’s work reimagines everyday construction materials—often seen only in passing at job sites—as objects of beauty, tension, and contradiction. BOXED OUT invites viewers to question how order and disorder are constrained, and to reconsider the physical and visual qualities of materials that typically exist only to build, support, or reinforce.

Textures, surfaces, colors, and patterns take on unexpected form in Lindsey’s hands. An audio-visual component will further heighten the experience, amplifying the sound and movement of flashing material as it’s being manipulated into ribbon-like form for the installation. 

Lindsey is an artist, educator, and gallery director at the University of Central Florida, where she champions contemporary practice and guides emerging artists to explore their own identities and goals. Learn more about her work.

BOXED IN

BOXED IN features five U-Haul trucks, each holding a different world. Matt Roberts, Leah Sandler, Erica Greear, David Henley, and Natasha Radovicz Schaidt will stage work that ranges from painting and quilts to video, fashion, and forms that defy easy categorization. Visitors will climb the ramps into these vessels, stepping into compressed spaces that carry more than freight.

Both venues were designed for the circulation of goods, not the contemplation of art. That dislocation is part of the point. With affordable gallery space increasingly out of reach, artists are reimagining the architecture of transport as an architecture of encounter. To be “boxed in” or “boxed out” is to test the limits of where art can live, and how publics can gather around it.
