Rewilding the Grid: A Prologue | opening April 25 | and studio highlights
Milcah Bassel
Dear friends,
It’s spring again. Here's an invitation to my pop-up solo exhibition and a couple studio highlights.
I'll be in attendance for the opening and open house, Friday 6-9pm and Saturday 12-6pm. If you'd like to come on Sunday or any other day be in touch to coordinate a time.
I look forward to seeing some of you this weekend!

In "Rewilding the Grid: A Prologue," a pop-up solo exhibition at Proto PS Gallery, Milcah Bassel presents an installation of new works on paper and a site-specific mural that reconsider the origins and evolution of geometric forms. Drawing connections between ancient symbolism and natural phenomena, Bassel questions modernist assumptions about controlled structure and offers alternative perspectives and new metaphors for our relationship to contingency, order, and each other.
The opening coincides with Project Studios Open House and Garden State Art Weekend.
The exhibition is made possible with a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and with support from Project Studios LLC.
I will be in attendance for the Friday opening and you can find me in the gallery or in my adjacent studio all day Saturday. Come hang out! (There will be snacks).
I was recently awarded a 2025 New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship. This generous grant will go towards sustaining my studio and enabling the development of new projects which I look forward to sharing with you in the year ahead.
Thrilled to have my work included in this ground-breaking publication:
