OPENS SATURDAY, APRIL 18
SURFACE TENSION
Jana Cariddi, Carlos Rosales-Silva, Trish Tillman, and Ben Tollefson
SURFACE TENSION brings together works by four distinct artists who each approach the surface of their work as an active site where play and experimentation give way to deeper social and psychological inquiry. Whether activating formal qualities like texture, finish, and color or mobilizing the narrative potential of illusion and artifice, these artists engage both the material and conceptual dimensions of "surface," locating meaning in the tension between what is seen and what lies beneath.
