Make Believe

March 04 – 27, 2021

Winter/Covid-19 Gallery Hours:
Friday–Sunday, 11pm–4pm and by appointment

Are you satisfied yet?

Theresa Wingert and Jana Brevick are co-directing a film at Soil. They will be taking a journey through sets and story, asking their main character to find satisfaction.

What is it to feel satisfied? What does it take to be satisfied? Why do we need satisfaction? How do you find it? What are the most satisfying places and things and feelings; what leaves one dissatisfied? What is true contentment? What is enough? What is gratification? What is fulfillment?

Featuring / Loren Othón

Stay tuned for other guest actor announcements.

Be in our film!

Anyone can take part in the film following our prompts with your phone either at the gallery through our interactive set-up, on the film website, or on Instagram @soilart

These prompts will change throughout the month, and QR code will be available to upload your audio or video file.

SOIL will be transformed into different sets all month…

Throughout the duration of the show in March, three complete, unique designs that turn the gallery into a live film set will be created with invited collaborators, where each set design stands alone as a compelling site-specific sculptural installation, while also giving the visitor a backstage view of the filming process.

Theresa Wingert is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer and creative director, and has built a career as a visual storyteller. As a film director, she is known for her cinematic and artful approach to capturing real moments and intimate performances. She has directed and created work that has been featured in galleries and retail spaces, as well as on television, theater and computer screens.

Jana Brevick, with a father as an engineer and mother as a stage director and costume designer, was encouraged to use freedom of expression and creativity, then left to her own devices, which accidentally engendered responsibility! The family moved often: Utah to Idaho to The Netherlands, Idaho to the Bay Area to Colombia, Indiana to Tennessee, then Idaho and Washington for university. This provided a foundation of exploration, wonder, and wanderlust while giving a taste of many working cultures, fascinating people, schools, rules and museums.

She lives to find a balance between the introspective and often solitary work of goldsmithing or object art making and the world of costume design, set design and styling. She’s never really sure what or where the next project will be, but the fun/fear/thrill of uncertainty makes the reward of coalescing experiences and ideas all the greater. For some reason, this makes her happy and might add to her positive outlook.
