Exhibitions
Kaiser Gallery's Silent Fields is a thought-provoking exhibition that will make you stop and think about the consequences of human activity on bees. Pollinators are necessary for the world's food security, yet humans are directly harming these delicate insects. Silent Fields is an exhibition that raises awareness of the importance of pollinators and the need to protect them. Silent Fields exhibition raises awareness for how important it is to protect pollinators and showcases them in a new light.
Presenting the works of Melissa Harvey, Maggie Latham, Kimit Menapace, Georgio Sabino III, and David Straange.
Additional information
The honey bee is possibly the most known pollinating species. Native species of bees and different bugs are fundamental to our food supply. Without these species, 70% of flora would be unable to reproduce or furnish food. Affected crops include many of our fruits, vegetables, and nuts that we are dependent on for our meals. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, of the 100 crops that grant 90% of the world’s food, 71 are pollinated by bees.
Currently, pollinators are declining at alarming rates. The number of honey bee colonies managed in the U.S. dropped from approximately 6 million in 1947 to less than 2.5 million today.

SOLO SHOW SELECTION 2022
Handful of Dream-Dust
June 10 - August 7, 2022
Kaiser Gallery presents Handful of Dream-Dust a solo exhibit by Cleveland artist Jonah Jacobs, on view at Kaiser Gallery from June 10 to August 7.
A local treasure within Cleveland’s art scene, Jonah Jacobs, explores themes of beauty, complexity, and eco-consciousness to create works that are simultaneously thought-provoking and visually stunning. Born in Denmark, and a graduate of Antioch College, he is also an Army veteran who served in S. Korea and in the 82nd Airborne Division, gaining invaluable experience and insight into different perspectives and ways of thinking.
Jacobs’ large-scale pieces combine thousands of individual geometric shapes to create mesmerizing forms that reference fractal patterns, bio colonies, and other complex systems. Jacobs merges creativity with science in an innovative way, to create artworks that explore ideas about order, chaos, growth, decay, and life cycles - the pervasive yet elusive forces that shape our world. Jacobs also treats every exhibition as an opportunity to teach and inspire others how to create artwork that is more environmentally friendly by utilizing unexpected materials for his large-scale art installations, such as cardboard, egg cartons, yarn, quinoa, oatmeal, dryer sheets, and other textiles to name a few.
