That Feels Good! Labor as Pleasure explores the works of 10 artists from across the US whose obsessive engagement in labor-intensive practices, and material exploration becomes an experience of pleasure. For these artists, pleasure is both the fruit of their labor, and also the framework for engaging with the world. It transcends mere aesthetic appreciation, inviting viewers to contemplate the potential for joy, care and discovery that is derived from the act of repetition, continuous interaction with materials, and labor. 

Participating artists include: Elvira Clayton (NYC), Max Colby (NYC), Craftwork (Nicole Yi Messier & Victoria Manganiello) (NYC), Fidencio Fifield-Perez (Davis, CA), John Fifield-Perez (Davis, CA), Kathleen Granados (NYC), Laura Josaphine Snyder (Charlottesville VA), Sarah Boyts Yoder (Charlottesville, VA), Richard Yu-Tang Lee (Portland, ME).
