This event has ended.

CARVALHO PARK enters its second year of programming with the opening of Sonnets of the Subconscious, featuring Brooklyn-based artist Krista Louise Smith and Instanbul + London-based artist Merve Işeri.

The uncertainties of now incite a retreat to interior spaces. The works in this exhibition follow the topographies of dreams, considering the body’s abstract presence - both restricted and fluid - in these preferred, temporal spaces. Prompted by inner necessity, Işeri’s and Smith’s paintings privilege experience over interpretation, by way of openness over preconception. Dominating the central space of the gallery is a monumental installation of 680 ceramic teeth sculpted by Smith, befittingly titled Bad Dreams. Diligently untangled from the subconscious and put forth as a sublime army, the works extend twenty-four feet down the gallery’s main space.
