But I Guess I'm Already There, Group show curated by Roger Boulay
Home is flimsy and firm. Home silly and clumsy. Home is a cage, but home is where we want to be. This exhibition explores notions of home as something contested and unstable, despite desires for it to be secure and constant. Through different materials and representational strategies, the five artists in this exhibition treat ideas of home with varying degrees of attachment and revulsion.
