The Catskills in association with Aftermath Arts Cooperative presents Corpus Capitalis, a group exhibition open February 5 to February 26, featuring works by Maggie Bard, Bonnie Chau, Honey Jernquist, Jon Konkol, and The Errant.

Corpus Capitalis loosely/poorly translates to Body of Capital. This exhibition, inspired by the response to the current confluence of public health and economic crises, asked each artist to reflect on the meaning of human capital.

Maggie Bard is an illustrator and designer, working primarily in drawing. Her ongoing series of work is comprised of amorphous forms often specific to the sub tropics, carefully rendered in her signature fine line work. Using exclusively ink on paper, her drawings are an array of contrasting textures and tones- without straying from a single long, black line. Maggie received her BFA in printmaking from Pratt Institute. She currently lives and works in New Orleans.

Bonnie Chau (b. 1982, California) works primarily in text, occasionally meddling around with ceramics, drawing, and painting. Her short story collection All Roads Lead to Blood was a finalist for a 2019 CLMP Firecracker Award, and her writing has appeared in Flaunt, The Felt, Fence, Black Sun Lit, and other publications. She holds an MFA in fiction and translation from Columbia University, and has participated in residencies at Art Farm Nebraska, Vermont Studio Center, and elsewhere. She serves on the board of the American Literary Translators Association, and is an adjunct professor at Columbia and Fordham, and an editor at 4Columns, Public Books, and the Evergreen Review.

Jon Konkol was born and raised in Cincinnati Ohio where he received a BFA from UC. After a decade of practice in the streets and galleries of NYC, he got his MFA from Weißensee Kunsthochschule in Berlin where he now resides. His work deals with themes of death and immortality, as well as explores aesthetics, society, nature and spirituality.

The Errant is a poet, translator, and t-shirt boss based in New York City. Follow @theerrantlovesyou.

This exhibition speaks to the resiliency of the creative imperative in a world where bodily and spiritual sacrifice is routinely expected of the maker.
