The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, November 7 to Saturday, December 19, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, November 7 from 5:00-7:00pm, coinciding with First Saturday at Minnesota Street Project. In Return, Return, memory is understood not as a fixed archive of the past, but as a living process shaped by repetition, transformation, and shifting perspectives. Through distinct material languages, Rebekah Goldstein, Margaux Ogden, and Priyanka Rana consider how forms are shaped by time, carrying traces of the past into new and evolving contexts. The act of returning becomes a means of discovery, allowing familiar forms to shift in meaning and acquire new associations. Color operates beyond a purely visual register, instead marking transformation. Together, these works inhabit the space between permanence and change, suggesting that to return is never simply to repeat, but to encounter the past anew and consider how its forms continue to shape the present. Request a Preview Based in San Francisco, California, Rebekah Goldstein works across multiple mediums, including painting, sculpture and works on paper. More recently, as in Return, Return, Goldstein creates specialized shaped canvases that blur the line between painting and sculpture. The artist describes her approach to image-making as akin to glimpsing a scene through fogged-up glass, one that is at times indistinct and obscured, at others very nearly visible. Painting is the act of coaxing this elusive image to materialize. Compositions are reworked, layers of paint obsessively added, each gesture an attempt to capture that fleeting image. Over the years, the artist has established a visual lexicon of shapes, forms, and gestures. Goldstein posits, how does color create structure? Working on multiple paintings simultaneously allows the artist to return to them over the course of months or even years, never with a predetermined sense of the end result. The inherent internal logic of the work guides Goldstein to the painting’s completion. This sustained process of searching reflects the shifting nature of personhood over time. For Goldstein, painting becomes a site of dialogue between the artist, her younger self, and future self—a conversation shaped by transformation and the continual reconsideration of who one has been and who one is becoming. Margaux Ogden lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Ogden’s practice begins with a defining shape or detail that establishes the work’s foundational visual architecture. Within this framework, Ogden navigates a dynamic interplay between reflection and response, order and intuition. Rather than limiting expression, structure activates experimentation and possibility. In her four newly released aquatints presented in Return, Return, Ogden iterates on forms that are a recurring point of departure in her practice and that have evolved through years of repetition and reinterpretation. Removed from its original context, a shape or idea gradually relinquishes its recognizable identity, becoming an abstracted unit whose significance lies less in its source than in its capacity for transformation. This single visual motif determines the relationship between all subsequent colors and forms, yielding an ever-shifting field of possibilities. Return, Return presents the debut of Ogden’s new series of limited edition aquatints, co-published by Morgann Trumbull Projects and 45th Street Editions. Ogden spent a week at the press in July 2026, work…
