As a continuation of Natalie Andrewson’s Café series at From Here to Sunday, we are presenting a group show based on the multi-faceted world of our furry friends with some of our beloved human friends!

Cats have always played a significant role in the shop’s personality. The lucky cat is one of the first to greet you during a visit, and traditionally, they not only provide a welcoming presence, they act as a symbol of good luck. For Cat Café, we consider all the ways in which cats bring comfort and joy, with a dash of authenticity and sass. Our feline friends represent our ability to be vulnerable through setting boundaries, and the sense of home and fierce loyalty we bring to the ones we love.

Sometimes it feels like the shop itself is going through its own nine lives. From Here to Sunday has evolved and weathered many storms over the years, and looking ahead, it is inevitable that more will come. The one constant that has kept us going is our community, so it only felt appropriate to extend the invitation to our community of artists and host a fundraiser to help sustain this business.

Each artist has generously donated work that will be raffled off to our loving community! Find details on how to enter here. [UPDATE: The raffle has ended and winners have been chosen.]

Mookntaka (MOO-kin-tah-kah) is a Brooklyn-based artist duo by Mark Zlotsky and Karyn Lao. It combines their names through the voice of their two-year-old niece: Mook (Uncle Mark) and Taka (Auntie Karyn).

Mark is an artist with an architectural background who infuses design with humor. Karyn is a fiber artist who believes that we are like pompoms — many pieces connected by a common thread. Together, they experiment and produce playful, unusual objects.

Mookntaka personifies the whimsical lens they investigate their surroundings with. It serves as a reminder to find joy in unexpected places and to embrace the silliness and curiosity of our inner child.

You can find more of their work on instagram @mookntaka!

FROM HERE TO SUNDAY presents

The 270 Million Project by Kim Sandara
October 15 - November 13

Opening reception: October 15, 12-6pm

Kim Sandara, The 270 Million Project, Oct 15-Nov 13, Opening Oct 15, 12-6pm

The 270 Million Project is a commitment to create 270 ink paintings resembling Rorschach tests, listening to only Lao music. These pieces explore Kim Sandara's relationship to being a Lao American: the longing to understand their roots and the conflict of being American and Lao. Each painting represents 1 million American cluster bombs dropped onto Laos during the Vietnam War.

70 of the total paintings will be featured in this exhibition. The work is installed in a grid formation as an ode to women bomb remover workers who do not have enough funding to accurately locate all of the bombs in Laos. Because of this, they blindly scout for spaces to check for UXO. With each sale there will be missing parts to the grid. Each missing spot represents the impact a community can have on empathizing and solving a problem if they come together. This work speaks to intergenerational trauma, the immigrant/refugee family experience, war, identity and resilience.

$100 of each painting sale will be donated to COPE, a facility which aids in physical therapy for the thousands of people affected by the bombs after the war.

Some smaller works by Kim will also be available for purchase, with partial profits going to Legacies of Wars, a non-profit working on advocacy, education and funding the removal of unexploded bombs currently still in the country.

HOMEBODY

Works by Serena Chang & Rose Wong

MAY 8 - JUNE 6

Opening Reception MAY 8 | 1-5pm

From Here to Sunday is excited to present new works by Serena Chang and Rose Wong. After a year-long delay, HOMEBODY takes on new meaning in light of the pandemic: isolated objects, grids and patterns, the vitality of plants bursting out of containers, and the intimacy of interior spaces come together in this exhibition.

Chang offers prints and cast sculptures based on her digital renderings, which explore the plant as art, and question the line between function and fine art. As prints, they exist one dimension closer to being tangible objects, yet remain a step removed. The sculptures presented – various vessels meant for holding flowers and foliage – are essentially incomplete artworks until paired with botanical life forms.

Wong’s hand-painted tiles are based on her zine of the same name, in which she considers how concepts of containment and worlds-within-worlds create depth of space even while the forms themselves are flat and graphic. The artist fearlessly plays with edges that create a delightful continuity without the visual anxiety that is normally associated with tangents touching.

HOMEBODY’s complex interrogations of dimensionality and depth reflect our lives during this past year: the comforts and loneliness of our homes, our limited access to the outside world, and the amplitude of our experiences in spite of and owing to their repetitiveness. Predominantly blue and white, these works are placed within a colorful setting surrounded by lush plants, adding another layer for the viewer’s interpretation.

The color scheme of the exhibition, evocative of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, alludes to the artists’ identities as Americans of Chinese descent. Both also consider themselves introverts. What does it mean to be an AAPI introvert, especially in today's context? Can our rich inner worlds continue to be neatly contained? How can we feel at home when we need to flatten ourselves to survive? HOMEBODY investigates these boundaries and contradictions.

Serena Chang is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn and Queens, NY, who works in-between photography and sculpture. When not creating her own art, she works as an art fabricator for Shisanwu LLC.

Come Out to the Coast was a project of Serena’s that used a wide range of materials and techniques to fabricate functional sculptures and objects with a plant-based focus. It has since evolved into Uni-Form LLC, a body of work that focuses on form studies and domestic objects. The series on display in HOMEBODY are some of the first objects created for Uni-Form LLC.

Rose Wong is an illustrator based in Brooklyn, NY who likes to combine the natural with unnatural. Her work can be found in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Bon Appétit, and Bloomberg Businessweek, among many other publications. Rose’s primary medium is digital, but she still enjoys the occasional doodling in her sketchbook. When not drawing, she makes zines and ceramics. Her interest in bookmaking and ceramics grew out of the desire to bring her digital art into a tangible world.

Rose started a project called loooooookboooooook, an ongoing series of fashion illustrations functioning as an exploration and study of shapes. By drawing quickly and not treating anything too preciously, Rose has been able to keep the project fun and experimental, while learning to expand her shape vocabulary and maintaining a consistent series.
