Upcoming: “Untitled” due by February 28th 2026

On view: “Mementos” & “Detour” by Teilo Wessells

Mementos serves as a resting place for the impermanence, the past versions, and the recollections. In this exhibition, Ninety-Seven Modern highlights reminiscent works, as an ode to the past versions of us, whoever they may be. There’s a shoebox under every bed. We have keychains from family vacations in early adolescence. We have photographs from our grandparents, and second grade best friends. Maybe a letter from someone loved, and lost. There is a drawing on a napkin from a night out, left by a stranger. A baby shoe, a birthday card. We keep mementos and mini altars, to what once was, and never will be again. The ephemeral lives on through memory.

Detour takes viewers on a visual roadtrip through grime, grace, and the human condition. A journey from day to night, this exhibition marks pitstops revelations of the way mankind interacts with the organic, and the constructed.
