At Home in the World
October 14 – December 10
Opening reception, Friday, October 13, 6–10 p.m.
At Home in the World features new video-based work by nine artists from four countries. The show's title refers to both a highly specific space linked most significantly to memory, and to an all-encompassing shared space. The art explores ideas of place (mental, physical, and psychological space) and attempts to navigate through explorations of memory, fantasy, language, abstraction and landscape. In seeking to convey or define self in relation to place, the works betray a sense of the unreachable, the gap between self and other, between here and there, and what it might mean to exist in a persistent state of desire and longing. Many of these works express individual and isolated experience while reflecting a shared state of being.
