Our summer group exhibition opens June 8 with a free reception and guided tour

 Cannupa Hanska Luger's "Mirror Shield Project," 2016. A large group of people stand in a field somewhere that snow and ice is melting, a snow-covered hill and field visible behind them. They all wear cold-weather attire and hold floor-length mirrors fixed to natural wood backers and point the mirrors towards the sun, away from the melting snow.

    ONGOING: These works have been produced in the context of the ongoing tension between the desire for openness and fluidity on the one hand, and the ringfencing of nation states and territories as ideological enclosures, with an increase in barriers to mobility and migration on the other.
