​

LATTICEWORK is a three-part exhibition collaboratively curated by Neptune in June (nomadic, primarily NY/CT), Purple Window Gallery (Chicago, IL), and The Waiting Room (Kansas City, MO). Rooted in friendship and a shared belief in a more accessible art world, the exhibition is built through collective labor, resource sharing, and the networks formed between artist-run spaces. Each gallery presents its own exhibition while creating moments of overlap that reveal the latticework connecting these regional communities and extending across greater distances.

​

The artists in LATTICEWORK draw on personal, historical, and ecological narratives to imagine reciprocal systems of care. Braids, threads, tendrils, and lattice-like forms emerge throughout the exhibition as models for resilient structures that hold individual identities and histories while creating new possibilities through connection. Reflecting these ideas, the curatorial process itself forms a decentralized network of collaboration across regions. Spanning Rooms 64, 65, and 66 at TRYST Art Fair, LATTICEWORK features 38 artists: 13 from Neptune in June, 11 from Purple Window Gallery, and 14 from The Waiting Room.
