The result of several months worth of work, Maximum Capacity is an exhibition of 11 artists’ work, guided by Sandra Reed and in direct conversation with artist Craig Drennen. When this exhibition was planned, it was supposed to take place in a storefront in Huntington, West Virginia in the Spring of 2020. Due to the COVID-19 virus, this group of artists made an abrupt change of plans. The exhibition was re-conceived as “Minimum Capacity” wherein the artists’ work was condensed into a series of pdf documents and published as a zine. With the assistance of Craig Drennan, the artists mounted Minumum Capacity in a small gallery in Atlanta, Georgia. The exhibition consisted of 18″ x 24″ photocopies of the pages of the zine. A virtual reception was held at the time. The artists decided to hold “Maximum Capacity” as originally planned as soon as they possibly could.
In its current form, this exhibition of Maximum Capacity is the realization of a journey begun what feels like much longer than months ago.
