INTERIOR/EXTERIOR | July 27–December 1, 2019

Interior/Exterior presents structures, “rooms” and objects, which are neither fully interior nor fully exterior. Exposing the permeability between these two categories, this exhibition interprets public and private spaces. Looking beyond the neat closure of four walls, Interior/Exterior will feature site-specific installations, temporary structures and sculptures by Julie Alpert, Benjamin Armas and Ori Carino, Macon Reed, Kathy Sirico, and Kaori Yamashita.

This exhibition attempts to position structures and shelters as permeable, active bodies. Though the exterior facade of the built environment seems immovable and solid by design, the walls are laced with flows of energy both in and out. Looking at these frontages as porous skins, we can start to see the anatomy of structures and objects (and the bodies that inhabit and use them) more fully. Within the seemingly solid walls that define a built structure’s boundaries are pipelines for utilities, the foundational connection between our private and public lives. Interior/Exterior positions structures and objects of the home not just as containers, but as active shapers of our social space.

Transient Existence | June 21, 2019 – July 14, 2019

We are not eternal, we are mortal
We can move through space, but cannot travel through time
We are only transient beings
We desire, therefore, to connect the dots through time by visiting several spaces

Four Japanese Artists have all lived as immigrants in either England, Germany, or the United States. Although they had met each other at different times in Germany, they had never assembled as one group before their reunion in the United States in 2018 where they shared their experiences of living outside Japan, in foreign countries. At their reunion, they shared their experiences, alternating between life in Japan and abroad. Through these discussions, they found common ground: they all have “transient existences,” a term, they realized, applies to them both as immigrants and as mortal beings.

In this show, four Japanese artists express their artworks based on interdisciplinary approaches: historical research, fieldwork, and artistic methodology.
