The 2025 Mississippi Invitational: Call Home
The 2025 Mississippi Invitational, curated by TK Smith and dubbed Call Home, opens with a title wall graphic that incorporates a landline phone dangling, as if abandoned by its user. The white handset—hanging loosely by an orange spiral cord, forever suspended somewhere between connection and disconnection, sets a quietly poignant tone for the exhibition. It also poses a question: Do you make the call?

They Will Not Complete It In Their Lifetimes
It’s electric, jumping from each artist’s work, between the various materials and representations, yet they unite in their futurity to prompt questions: What will remain of us, and what transcends understanding?

Magdalena Suarez Frimkess—The Finest Disregard
Even her utilitarian tableware—tortilla plates and coffee mugs—appear sculptural, not functional. Whereas many ceramicists, including her husband, take great pains to rid their work of evidence of their physicality, eradicating touch, pressure, emotion, and kinetic energy, Magdalena’s sculptures quiver with her presence. Fingerprints, pinch marks, patchwork, the spontaneity and surety of her brushstrokes altogether engender a perceptible alive-ness.
