FALL 2026

Polly Apfelbaum: A Women’s Circle

Ferren Gipson: Re:union

SEPTEMBER 26 – DECEMBER 19, 2026
RECEPTION: SEPTEMBER 26, 5-8pm

Wasserman Projects is pleased to announce our 2026 Fall Exhibitions featuring solo presentations from Polly Apfelbaum, Ferren Gipson, and Gyan Shrosbree. Celebrating women’s tenacity and contributions to contemporary art, this season features three artists working across disciplines with craft and color at the forefront.

A Women’s Circle is Polly Apfelbaum’s first solo exhibition in Detroit and will include new works from the prolific artist, including multiple ceramic floor installations and a new foray into large scale wall paintings. Through her boldly painted ceramic tiles, Apfelbaum’s Hilma Head’s and the eponymous A Women’s Circle highlights women in the field and acknowledges craft’s importance in contemporary and modern art.

Writer, curator, and artist Ferren Gipson’s Re:union will be the first presentation of her work in Detroit. Presenting new textiles, Gipson is both an artist and researcher whose work is exploring her ancestral history through weaving, quilting, and craft. She uses color intuitively and improvisational to produce expressive, painterly textiles.

Polly Apfelbaum’s A Women’s Cirlce is made possible thanks to Lisa Applebaum, Pamela Applebaum and Nancy and Arn Tellum.

Presented in Wasserman Works, Gyan Shrosbree’s Out Fit brings together her expressive and varied painting practice, layering her paintings to amplify and create a larger artwork in and of itself. Painting moments from memory, often unlocking more, Shrosbree’s iconography are painted on varying sized canvas and panels and wearable tunics.

Join us on Saturday, September 26th, from 5-8pm for our opening event and to meet the artists. The exhibitions will be on view from September 26th – December 19th, 2026.
