“The eagerness of objects to
be what we are afraid to do
cannot help but move us…”
—Frank O’Hara Interior (with Jane)
where is the power is a poetic collection of works that challenge conventions and undermine expectations through subtle gestures, associations, layered content, materials, proximity, scale, humor, personal and collective memory, intervention, presence and longing. While the strength of the exhibition is in the individual power of each work, there are shared qualities and conversations between pieces that emerge as they collectively address concepts asserted in the exhibition title.
