“Of Other Places” Exhibition

This event has ended.

Whether it’s an imagined psychological space or a physical location, our lives are inherently tied to the notion of place. It plays a key role in the decisions we make, the feelings that arise, and the places we make for ourselves. While the processes and approaches are very different, the four artists in Of Other Places bend their places into a location for emotion and transcendence. They draw you into their own private worlds, but may also illicit a connection with the universalities within.
