- **Event Description**: Rivalry Projects is thrilled to present The Last Whole Earth, the gallery’s first solo exhibition with Buffalo-based artist Kyla Kegler. The exhibition includes new painting and sculpture drawn from Kegler’s evolving relationship to utopia and the pursuit of pleasure.

“The earthy terracottas, the velvety blue water and sky colors, the slate stone colors, and the almost-invisible-on-raw-canvas fleshy neutrals are sensuous and soothing—I want to drink them in, smell, touch, and be enveloped by them. The drips of gold, neon, and glitter, and the whispers of pastel are little winks, a reminder of the absurd within the reveling. And the stains of shellac and oil, the defacement with crayon and chalk are signs of life.”

Join us for the opening reception of Kyla Kegler: The Last Whole Earth on Friday, May 1 from 5:00–9:00pm.

Kyla Kegler (b. 1985) explores themes of fantasy, illusion, embodiment, pleasure, and purpose across painting, sculpture, performance, and film. She holds an MA in Solo/Dance/Authorship from the Art University of Berlin and an MFA in Studio Art from the University at Buffalo. Her practice is informed by her work with Bread and Puppet Theater (Vermont) and her role as co-founder of the underground theater Zuhause (Berlin). Past projects include Feel Me, a multi-modal investigation of the mindfulness industry exhibited at Box Gallery, Canisius College, and Big Orbit; The House on Fire Show, a teen web-drama about the climate crisis screened at the Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art; Mountains, a puppet soap opera performed at Artpark, Torn Space Theater, and Undercurrent Gallery (Brooklyn); The Frontier, a performance about cults and community; and R.d.f.t.c. (Relationships don’t finish, they change), an installation of video and sculpture exhibited at the Handwerker Gallery, Ithaca College, NY (2024). Her recent film, The Accumulation of Meaning Over Time (2025), premiered at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Shot primarily on 16mm, it explores how self-understanding deepens over time and how collective meaning accumulates across generations, bodies, and images.
