Here, There & Elsewhere: Exploring the Idea of Place
September 2020
Curated by Svitlana Martynjuk
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Here, There & Elsewhere is an exhibit centered around work that explores the concept of place. A place may be a physical setting or a mental and emotional space within us. The artists featured in this exhibit explore the moods and emotions of places, whether they be internal or external.
“Moody. Deep. Thoughtful. Personal. Tinges of heaviness looming around. It’s heavy, but not all-consuming. The interaction of humans in these spaces. The role that items play in our existence. From dealing with personal conundrums to exploring the universe in its most existential terms, we can find the hints of each of those themes in ‘Here, There, & Elsewhere’, a show exploring the meaning of space.”
— Svitlana Martynjuk, Guest Curator and Founder of All She Makes
