Location: Conduit Gallery, 1845 E Levee St. #100, Dallas, TX 75207
Conduit Gallery this fall presents three exhibitions featuring Rosalyn Bodycomb's small-scale paintings on the theater of politics, Ted Larsen's sculptural constructions built from salvage, and Jordan Bruner's paintings of an imagined future resort. On view from September 10 – October 17, 2026.
Rosalyn Bodycomb The Worked Shoot
Bodycomb's new small-scale oil on panel paintings explore the intersection of ancient political stagecraft and contemporary professional wrestling, using kayfabe, the collaborative maintenance of a staged reality, as the engine of both classical and contemporary populism. She maps Aristotle's anacyclosis onto the modern squared circle, casting political heels and faces within an ancient script of societal collapse. Bodycomb was born in Hawaii and earned her MFA in painting at Texas Christian University. She is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Award, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. She lives and works outside of Yosemite Valley, California.
Ted Larsen Meaning Comes After
Conduit Gallery presents the seventh solo exhibition of works by Larsen, larger in scale and more ambitious than previous sculptures. Built from salvaged and repurposed materials, his wall-based constructions balance the formal rigor of High Modernist abstraction with the material language of the everyday. Larsen (b. 1964) is a Pollock-Krasner Foundation recipient with a BA from Northern Arizona University. His work has been exhibited at the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and in over eighty gallery exhibitions, with reviews in The New York Times and The Dallas Morning News, among others.
PROJECT ROOM:
Jordan Bruner Space Hotel
This is the first exhibition in Texas of Bruner's work. Set against a cosmic backdrop, the paintings depict moments of leisure, dining, and beach-going, ordinary rituals recast at an imagined resort where connection feels possible but never quite settles. Bruner is an artist and filmmaker whose subjects, women, animals, and imagined places carry a mix of joy, tension, and humor. The Space Hotel series was exhibited at Amuse at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Bruner is a recipient of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Visual Arts Fellowship in Painting for 2026-2027. She earned her BFA in Kinetic Imaging from Virginia Commonwealth University and lives and works in Richmond, Virginia.
