TRAINS. NIGHT GALLERY. NOTES.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE EXHIBITION WILL BE LAID OUT IN LINES. THE EXHIBITION WILL BE HUNG IN SEQUENCES BREAKING CHRONOLOGY. THE EXHIBITION WILL BE FORMAL, BUT NOT JUST SHAPES. PHOTOGRAPHY AND SCULPTURE ARE NOT THE SAME THING, BUT THEY ARE COMPANIONS. SOME CHOOSE MORE, SOME CHOOSE LESS, EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO, AND THE BOUNDARIES ARE DERAILED.
PHOTOGRAPHY: NOBUYOSHI ARAKI, SARAH CONAWAY, RICHARD HAWKINS, MARCEL ALCALÁ, ANNETTE KELM, MELANIE SCHIFF. SCULPTURE: THEA DJORDJADZE, ERIK FRYDENBORG, PIERO GOLIA, JEFF ONO, AUGUSTUS THOMPSON, BRENNA YOUNGBLOOD.
