Sea/Change @ Dream Farm Commons
At a time when shorelines are shifting and familiar maps rapidly morphing, Sea/Change convenes fourteen artists working in multiple genres to share an exhibition restlessly moored by themes of migration and navigation through transience, loss, and reimagination.
In the Dream Farm Commons gallery, we will show Guillermo Galindo's star-guided Tortoise, lightboxes from Pete Belkin and Laura Hartman's Dream Resort, a chronicle of slowly sinking imaginary paradises, Sharon Beal's Murmur photographs, Emmanuelle Namont's meditative Mer/Mère photo-assemblage, Kimberley Campisano's cyanotype and giclee photography, and Chloe Griffin's sea-journals, drawings, and ceramic chain sculpture.
There will be a continuous showing of Patricia Diart's animation SLAG, and Chloe Griffin's circling Albatross, in the Cinecloset within the main gallery.
In the upstairs Microcinema we will continuously screen a sequence that includes Pete Belkin and Lauren Hartman's Dream Resorts, Michael Paulus' Vertical Migration, Rhonda Weppler's Giro, and Stacey Goodman's video trio, This Tree.
In the Dream Farm Commons Annex, Glenna Cole Allee.will be developing iwork-in-progress Missing Meridian/Pacific Rim of Fire.
The opening event August 8th will include two performances. A dance piece by Diana Lara with Mihyun Lee addressing how the memory of migration can be stored within the human body, and Stacey Goodman's multi-media performance Along the Spectrum will explore the nature and scope of avian vision.
Visitors are encouraged to visit each three-week phase of Sea/Change, as the show will change halfway, new works replacing some of those first displayed. It will be possible, unless remembering to look twice, to miss a guiding constellation, or a meteor on its path.
