Portraits—The Failure of the State presents Brian Maguire’s portraits from three bodies of work that investigate the catastrophic impact of systemic violence without justice in Montana, United States; Bentiu, South Sudan; and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Maguire is an artist who looks outward, beyond the studio, engaging with the world and working in close dialogue with the families and communities of those erased, displaced, and forgotten by the failure of state institutions to serve and protect.
Missoula Art Museum commissioned the portraits of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People of Montana for an exhibition titled Outrage and supported the project over five years.

At the Edge of Place brings together a body of paintings shaped by Carey’s time spent in Canada, especially Alberta. Informed by memory, weather, and scale, these works are not descriptive records of place, but painterly responses to atmosphere, distance, and the emotional residue of lived experience.
Developed through a period of change, the paintings draw on moments that remained with the artist long after he had left them. Mountains, snow, water, light, and small human traces become vehicles for exploring awe, stillness, and psychological weather.
