About The Exhibition
Every book holds something unspoken - not only its story, but the pause before it begins: a dedication meant for one person, a chapter that opens without warning, a margin touched by hands we will never know.
These works are built from those thresholds. They draw on pages carried through Kerouac's wandering life, on the measured architecture of Dickens, and on intimate inscriptions that flicker between presence and absence.
Each piece is organized by the same twelve-sided form: a dodecagon, the quiet geometry that has followed the artist for decades. It is a structure of return - twelve points of orientation, twelve ways the hand remembers itself. Laid over fragments of books and their histories, the dodecagon becomes a way of listening to what lives beneath language.
In this small quiet between two larger rooms, these fragments have room to rest.
Dedications, chapters, and rescued pages pause here in the open - incomplete, yet intact - held for a moment, and carried forward by whoever passes through.
About The Artist
Dennis Scholl is a Miami-based visual artist and filmmaker whose work dwells in the fragile space where personal memory becomes collective myth. In his studio practice, he constructs dodecagonal assemblages from fragments of the past — NASA photographs, newspapers, and small relics of lived experience — arranging them in twelve-sided constellations that echo the cyclical nature of time.
His recent exhibitions, including “A Day of Four Sunsets” (Art and Culture Center/Hollywood, 2025) and “The Melody Haunts my Reverie” (Piero Atchugarry Gallery, 2025), trace how light, loss, and longing shape what we choose to remember.
As a filmmaker, Scholl has produced and directed more than ninety films, earning twenty-four regional Emmy Awards. His documentaries — “Deep City”, “Lifeline”, “The Last Resort”, and “Naked Ambition” — illuminate artists and communities whose stories enrich cultural memory. Across both practices, he returns to one enduring question: how can we hold light long enough for it to become meaningful?
