June 7–November 4, 2022
Powers Art Center, Carbondale, Colorado

The Powers Art Center is a private collection perched atop the Roaring Fork Valley’s foothills about forty-five minutes down-valley from Aspen, just off Highway 82. A fortress of serenity, the Center’s existence is announced by a single minimal sign that practically disappears into its red rock surroundings. The entrance is easy to miss, a few times (especially when driving by at sixty-five miles per hour), and seems purposefully clandestine—this is not a place to be stumbled upon accidentally.
