Carbondale Arts presents two new exhibitions in the gallery on display March 6-April 9, 2026. "Sweet Excess" by William Lanzillo brings to life giant contraption extrudes an impossible cannoli, at once grotesque and delightful. Performance and sculpture converge in a communal, larger-than-life dessert experience. Rooted in family nostalgia and childhood trips to bakeries, the work transforms a cherished memory into a nostalgic, collective spectacle.
"Structures Inachevées" by Ludivine Gérard brings together the evolving threads of work from the emotional layering of her series Recadrage to the fragmented presence of the human form in Silhouette. Each piece remains open, unfinished, inviting the viewer to complete the story or let it remain in motion. Across all series, the artist explores the tension between structure and absence, balance and disruption, visibility and silence.
The opening reception will be on First Friday, March 6 from 5:00-7:00pm with artist talks beginning at 5:30pm. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.
