Step into a realm where the echoes of the past intertwine with the fragile gestures of the present. The “good consumer” exhibition, a captivating two-person show featuring the compelling works of Em Davenport and Sasha Miasnikova, recently graced the walls of Jessamine, an artist-run commercial gallery nestled within the historic Belmont Hotel in Dallas, Texas. More than just a display of art, this exhibition, thoughtfully curated by Jessamine’s founders Oshay Green and Greg Meza, unfolded as an immersive dialogue between architectural decay and the delicate manifestations of human experience. Running from April 9th to May 10th, 2025, this compelling show provided a unique opportunity to delve into the intricate themes of consumption, memory, and tactile materiality, all set against the evocative backdrop of a revitalized yet timeworn urban structure. For those seeking art that provokes thought and stirs the senses, “good consumer” offered an unforgettable encounter with emerging artistic voices grappling with the complexities of our contemporary world.
