Dwelling

Exhibition Dates: September 6 - October 19, 2011

Opening Reception: September 8, 5 - 8pm

 

When we dwell, we seek refuge in the comforts allowed by shelter. Likewise, we may also dwell in the comforts of a protected recollection. We struggle to fabricate and penetrate these dwellings. In this exhibition thirteen artists explore dual-conceptions of what it means to ‘dwell’ by surveying the access, preservation and reconstruction of retrospective narrative, alongside the ingrained presence of the domicile.

Artists: Heather Boaz, Olga Chernysheva, Stephanie Del Monte, Emily Hunt, Ginny Huo, Erica Leohner, Nina Mayer, Inga Moren, Anna Katherine Peters, Carrie Schneider, Jutta Strohmaier, Austin Swearengin and Brandy Watts.
