Alchemy presented new work by artists who act on schemes of transformation and whose investigations are imbued with metaphor and poetry. Curated by Sarah Smith, the exhibition features work by Ellen Babcock, Brice Bischoff, Michelle Blade, John Chiara, Randy Colosky, Adam Hathaway, Christopher Sicat, and Lindsey White. Beautiful Possibility is a two-year (2010-2011), coast-to-coast touring project by Alison Pebworth investigating American history and contemporary culture. It takes the prototype of the 19th century American traveling show as inspiration for engaging people across the country in dialogue about what it means to be American.
