This event has ended.

This exhibition includes a range of artists that deal with a kind of quiet consideration, personal poetic, or draw inspiration from simple observations and things from everyday life. There is a resistance to the overtly spectacular in favor of a more subtle and deliberate time-based exchange.

Two small drawings by Giorgio Morandi serve as the cornerstone of the show, epitomizing the economy of means also evident in other works in the exhibition. The artist that stated “nothing is more abstract than reality” hovered between representation and abstraction, ever reducing compositional elements to essential values, hues, and lines. And though the works in this exhibition range from image based painting, abstraction, photography, and more conceptual sculpture, these seemingly disparate stylistic approaches frame a similarity in attitude about the experience of making and looking at art. Through a focus on the interior or the local, an understated visual language opens a portal to themes both universal and elusive.
