"Slough" Exhibition
David Nolan Gallery
This event has ended.
This is a group exhibition curated by gallery artist Steve DiBenedetto.
The impetus behind this exhibition is the flexibility of the word
slough, which has various interpretations. When pronounced slew,
slough can describe a bog-like, swampy, dark, primordial and somewhat mysterious realm. The alternate and less used, but maybe also appropriate interpretation, is a state of moral degradation or
spiritual dejection that one cannot extract oneself from. Slough, as
in sluff, also refers to that which has been cast aside or shed off,
like a skin. It can also describe the manner in which material tends
to accumulate at the edges of a performed task, such as the accumulation of dust on the rim of a fan, snow on the edge of a shovel, or trash in the breakdown lane of a highway.
