SUMMARY:House / Hold
DESCRIPTION:GearBox Gallery\nHouse / Hold\nFeaturing artists: Laura Van Duren and Mittie Cuetara\nDates: December 11\, 2025- January 17\, 2026\nReception: Saturday\, December 13\, 1-4 pm\nArtist’ Talk: Saturday\, January 10\, 2pm \nGearBox Gallery is pleased to present House/Hold\, featuring GearBox Gallery artist\nMittie Cuetara and guest artist Laura Van Duren.\nLaura Van Duren and Mittie Cuetara share a sensitivity to how architecture informs our human experience. Laura’s sculptures work through the physicality of form—playful\, visceral structures that illuminate the body’s influence on the mind\, embracing a deeply corporeal sensibility. Mittie’s paintings\, by contrast\, explore psychological space through slightly abstracted interior scenes\, where domestic tension gathers in shadows\,\nthresholds\, and doorways. While Laura builds outward from the tangible presence of\nbodies\, Mittie draws viewers inward to the charged quiet of domestic environments.\nCuetara’s work begins inside- slightly skewed dreamlike interiors act as metaphors for the body\, exploring the tension\, comfort\, resistance\, and pull of her shifting relationship to domesticity.\nCuetara is drawn to the friction between independence and belonging\, ambition and\nhome. The house becomes a shell and an identity—a container for contradictory desires.\nThe interiors she paints aren’t pristine; their meaning comes from their histories. Rooms bear the imprint of lives lived\, and doorways recur as thresholds of change\, marking our hesitation before the unfamiliar.\nHouse/Hold reflects this pause—the moment before transformation. Through these\nspaces\, she explores the house as an extension of the self: a site of memory\, conflict\,\nvulnerability\, and possibility.\nIn House/Hold\, Van Duren navigates the complexities of support systems—those that\ncan feel uprooted and unsteady\, even as they are built back up through collective\npersistence. Through chairs and sculptural forms\, the work examines the interwoven\nissues of housing instability\, community support\, and resilience amid our shifting political reality.\nSwollen ceramic pieces stride forward\, precariously balanced on wheels\, nozzles\, and cobbled-together chairs\, illustrating a narrative of collective effort and adaptive repair.\nThis pieced-together community becomes both vulnerable and resilient\, emphasizing\nthat real stability and shelter are created not alone\, but through interconnected acts of\ncare\, ingenuity\, and shared endurance. The installation considers how support is\nmade—and remade—together.\nAbout the Artists:\nMittie Cuetara grew up in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. As the daughter of an architect\, she’s always been drawn to the particular interiors and strange paths that humans create for themselves. Graduating from the Boston Museum school\, she moved to the Bay Area\, where she wrote and illustrated several children’s books\, then spent several years teaching art. Since receiving her MFA in 2022 from Mills college\, she has been showing her acrylic paintings and sculptural work at shows around the Bay Area. She joined Gearbox Gallery in 2024.\nLaura Van Duren is an interdisciplinary artist based in Oakland\, California\, recognized for her innovative approach to ceramics\, and mixed-media sculpture. Her practice often\nmerges drawing\, ceramics\, glycerin soap\, and recycled materials\, reflecting a\ncommitment to experimentation and abstraction. She works with the Peter Voulkos\nfamily helping to manage the archival aspect of his collection which has had a profound influence on her creative process.\nVan Duren’s work has been exhibited at major institutions across the San Francisco Bay Area\, including the Crocker Museum (as part of the feminist exhibition Making Moves)\, Sonoma Museum of Art\, Southern Exposure\, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art\, and Berkeley Art Center. She is dedicated to arts education\, teaching ceramics and sculpture as an adjunct professor at several community colleges. Her achievements in the field include residencies\, such as the Open Studio residency at Haystack in Maine (2023) and a 2025 residency at Dream Farm Commons Gallery in Oakland. Notably\, her work has been acquired by The Crocker Art Museum.\nVan Duren holds a BFA in drawing from Carnegie Mellon University and she completed her MFA in sculpture at San Francisco State University in 2017.\nGearBox Gallery’s Opening Reception for Mittie Cuetara and Laura Van Duren’s\nHouse/Hold will be Saturday\, December 13th\, 1-4pm All are welcome.\nAbout Gearbox Gallery:\nGearBox Gallery is an artist-run contemporary art gallery dedicated to showcasing the work of its members and a broad range of regional contemporary guest artists\, fostering community and education through intellectual and cultural exchange focused on the visual arts. We are located at 770 West Grand Avenue in Oakland\, California.
