Kimberly Callas, MFA, associate professor in the Department of Art and Design, will exhibit her sculptures, “Rosetta” and “Anima,” in two group exhibitions this summer in New York, each exploring symbolic and ecological dimensions through contemporary sculpture.
Line
Brooklyn Gallery
165 7th St, Brooklyn, NY
On View: July 7 – Aug. 7, 2025
Juried by art writer and critic Tara Anne Dalbow, Line showcases artworks that explore the line in its many expressive forms from the poetic and political to the architectural and organic. Callas’s sculpture “Rosetta” is a 3D-printed partial figure layered with oceanic patterns and digitally printed drawings on Kuzo paper. Drawing from natural oceanic patterns, like waves, nets, and seaweed, “Rosetta” investigates how patterns of place, inheritance, and ecology are inscribed in the body. The piece evokes the body as both medium and empath – an archive of environmental memory rendered in tide-like lines.
Empire of the Gods
Bank Gallery
94 Broadway, Newburgh, NY
On View: Aug. 14 – Oct. 5, 2025
In Empire of the Gods, Callas presents both “Rosetta” and “Anima,” two sculptures that merge the mythic and the ecological. “Anima” explores embodiment and spiritual resonance, drawing on archetypal iconography while rooted in contemporary ecological consciousness. Rosetta, in this context, acts as an ecological relic, linking the corporeal and cosmic through the geometry of living forms. The exhibition, hosted by Bank Gallery, brings together artists who examine divine archetypes and the power structures they represent across time.
Callas is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the ecological self through life-size figurative sculptures, reliefs, and drawings that merge natural materials with digital fabrication. Her work has been featured in Art New England, The Huffington Post, and CICA Museum publications.
