The Hidden Real
Alan Bray, Tonee Harbert, Greg Jamie, June Kim, Anne Riesenberg, and Shoshannah White
First Friday Art Walk reception March 6, 5-8 pm
In Philip K. Dick’s novel Ubik the past manifests as a force seeking to resurface and interrupt (and sometimes disrupt) the present. In the real world, remnants of the past cryptically make themselves known — the way Roman mosaics appear under farm fields, stone walls appear deep in the Maine woods, seashell fossils emerge in the Swiss Alps, or buffalo nickels show up in your change. The way dreams reconfigure places and circumstances that yearn to come to the surface, to come alive again and impinge on waking reality. Many artists engage with what arises from this intricate matrix; The Hidden Real presents some artists working consciously with this material.
The artists include Alan Bray, Tonee Harbert, Greg Jamie, June Kim, Anne Riesenberg, and Shoshannah White; curated by Andy Graham.
