RSM Gallery is presenting "The Gleanings," a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Joetta Maue featuring photography, installation, and embroidery. The show runs from October 16 to November 25, 2025, with an artist talk and opening reception on October 16 and a Reading Room Event on November 4 where visitors are invited to share books and excerpts. Maue's work explores the sublime within everyday life, focusing on overlooked fragments, ephemeral light, and the traces of the body across space and time, with embroideries that transcribe her research notations and a large wall installation titled "Sojourn" mapping geographies of artist residencies.
This exhibition matters because it highlights Maue's sustained meditation on intimacy, motherhood, invisible labor, and the domestic landscape—themes that resonate with broader conversations about women's access to knowledge and the value of slow, process-based art. By incorporating participatory elements like the Reading Room Event, the show invites viewers into a shared space of reflection, emphasizing art as a tangible vessel for time rather than a static object, and underscoring the importance of community engagement in contemporary art practice.
