We the Structures brings together artists examining how personal, civic, and spiritual systems shape how people live and relate to one another.
Structure as Experience
Ruttkowski;68 in New York presents We the Structures, a group exhibition featuring February James, Andrew Kass, and Baseera Khan. On view through May 9, the show examines structure not only as a physical idea but as something that shapes thought, memory, and daily life.
Across the works, structure becomes both subject and method. The exhibition treats it as a way to understand how individuals move through systems of family, city, and belief, suggesting that what holds society together is often invisible but constantly felt.
Domestic and Urban Systems
February James focuses on interior emotional worlds, using painting to explore family relationships and inherited experience. Her works reflect on how domestic life stores memory, with objects and gestures acting as carriers of history and feeling.
Andrew Kass shifts attention outward toward the city, drawing from materials and visual language tied to urban development. His works reveal the underlying frameworks of infrastructure and labor, exposing how metropolitan environments are built through layered systems of construction and displacement.
Belief, Space, and Collective Repair
Baseera Khan introduces a spiritual dimension to the exhibition, exploring how belief systems shape identity and authority. Their works engage with spaces of devotion and discipline, creating environments that reflect both tension and transformation.
Together, the artists present structure as something unstable yet essential. Co curators Roseline Michael Neveling and Leo Fitzpatrick frame the exhibition as a reflection on shared systems and the possibility of repair, positioning it as an ongoing study of how people might build more connected ways of living.
