This event has ended.

FiveMyles presents this group exhibition presenting five weeks of interactive installations and performances. The curator Jasmine Murrell has chosen work that directly engages the viewer, both visually and through sound and touch. It invites conversations between strangers; the activities in the space are enjoyed and shared. The work will transform the gallery into a fantastical landscape of tactile, auditory and visual experiences.

Outside on the sidewalk C. Finley’s functional, but lovingly wallpapered dumpster invites the public “not to litter”. Dominika Ksel’s interactive tuning chamber activates the body of anyone who enters the sculpture through sound and vibrations. Jisun Beak’s large-scale installation is to be walked into to become disconcerted. Shellyne Rodriguez’ altar accepts offerings curing unfulfilled desires, longings and general discontent. Mallory Cain Breiner creates an absurd and unsettling sculptural space of leisure.

Collaborators Chandra and Keith McCormik, whose work was shown at the 2015 Venice Biennale, will exhibit photos of their rich New Orleans culture. The floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina act as a third party in the creation of their work. Haitian artist Florine Demosthene’s mixed-media works, textural mélanges of paint, ink, graphite and charcoal, depict voluptuous female figures amist a strange world of decay and destruction.

The artist AnonymousB contributes Perceived Obsolescence, an installation of mundane objects for the public to handle, and to contemplate on the personal and historical memories that are embedded in the thingness of an object.
