Exhibition Opening! "i had this dream and you were in it"

Women’s Studio Workshop presents , an exhibition of new work by Ollantay Avila Alcocer, Carissa Kolcun, and Kimberly Jo.

On view through April 10, 2026, the exhibition asks: What does it look like to explore multiple possibilities of dreaming in the studio? Over the past four months, the artists have worked across papermaking, printmaking, and bookbinding to meditate on alternate realities and imagined memories. Moving between individual and collaborative processes, they create intimate, layered works that reflect a shared longing for connection.

Alcocer, Kolcun, and Jo are interns at WSW. This nearly 50-year-old program offers young people interested in a career in art or nonprofit management valuable hands-on training and studio access. Interns receive a stipend and housing on WSW’s campus.

i dream and wake and feel the separation between myself and the dream. Time bends and collapses upon itself, offering endless possibilities; i am unable to discern the dream from reality. That which is immaterial is finally able to be held, and felt. Your skin against mine, that’s how i can tell I’m asleep. In dreams there is always the chance i might see you again, the distance between us foreshortened by the desire to hold you close; you are only a night’s sleep away. if i asked tomorrow would you remember my touch?
