“What if I’m running outside because the moon tonight is children’s-book huge and ridiculous over the pines, the sight of it a strange sphere of medicine?”

― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

In light of the many recent AI snafus—from self-driving cars and delivery bots to large-scale privacy violations—the work in this exhibition relishes the human joy of walking and traveling that induces all senses, inspires mark-making in-place, and encourages the instinct for collecting souvenirs. In reflection of Open AI CEO Sam Altman's observation that, "it also takes a lot of energy to train a human....like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart..." this exhibition traces the lines between aimless meandering, the noble ideals of a hero's journey, and the discriminatory nature of travel access (unavoidably but peripherally).

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You considers the endless variation among us animal travelers, including pack-rat accumulator behaviors, product-less observation & absorption, synchronized pack movement, pilgrimage, and the brandings of serial imprinters. Wayfinding imagery, portable altars, and methods of nailing-down one’s environment and place within it speak to a simultaneous insatiability for an endless horizon and for familiarity. The exhibition revels in the uniquely animal impulse to fixate, repeat, and to feast one’s eyes to no particular end.

Featuring work by Sadaf Azadehfar, Benjamin Dimock, Alex Patrick Dyck, Adrian Gray, Amadeo Morelos, Ellie Murphy, Kate Quarfordt, Joan Reutershan, Maya Strauss, and StreetMax. Including large and small-scale sculpture, photography, collage, painting, printmaking, found-object assemblage, and fiber installation.

On View During Open Studios Weekend

The opening will coincide with Open Studios at the Linen Factory (formerly Simons Building), which will be held on May 8th (4-8 pm) & 9th (12 pm - 5 pm).
