The four artists in this exhibition draw on material, political, magical, and cosmological acts of interference, drawing down forces in tension through each of their practices. As one of the most widely-circulated concepts in esoterica and spirituality, the phrase “as above, so below” expresses the fundamental relationship between the macrocosm—the universe, the heavens, the realms of the gods—and the microcosms of earthly beings. But it also holds the tension inherent to continuums: what, exactly, separates above and below? Through mixed-media sculpture, video performance, and a newly-commissioned installation, the works on view invite us to explore how we both honor and manipulate the divisions between earth and sky.

About The Ritual Division
The Division grew out of its founding members’ prior experiences as art fabricators, where it is common for art workers to learn from each other and bring their diverse skills together to create a single large-scale work of art. By applying this way of thinking in our everyday work, we can begin from our deep commitment to one another to create projects that reach farther than any creator can alone.
On the ground floor, our carpentry-focused fabrication shop and shared studios provide affordable space for our resident artists and craftspeople, who are available for both individual and group commissions. Our skills include large-scale art-making, design, prop construction, art handling, creative production, and fabrication projects across a wide variety of mediums.
Gallery and Community
On the second floor, our gallery doubles as art exhibition and community space. Our exhibition program focuses on newly-commissioned work, installation art, and experimental practices, and we regularly work with emerging artists to offer fabrication resources from our shop and studios. Artist-focused programming serves the material and technical interests of our community, and we create intentional opportunities for makers to practice together and learn from one another.
Work With Us
We specialize in fine art fabrication, and collaborate closely with artists of all mediums. We apply those same skills to a wide variety of projects--particularly those that combine several skill sets or can’t be achieved by standard contracting formulas.
Our team of artists and artisans have many years of experience and an immense variety of skills including:
immersive art fabrication • custom furniture • upholstery and fabric goods • resin casting • 3D modeling, printing, and laser cutting • clothing, jewelry, and costume production • event design and production • design/build projects • prop construction • sculpture and casting • wood carving and trim • mural painting • scenic interior design
All of our projects are unique, but we are always happy to work within given timeframes and budgets. Get in touch to begin the conversation and we’ll carefully evaluate your needs.
