Love Is Not All

While there is arguably no theme more ancient and intrinsic to human history than Love, questions around what constitutes appropriate expressions of romantic love and sexual desire continue to be debated at every level of our society—from art to politics. While some of the works in the exhibition seem to examine, and even challenge, social norms and boundaries, other works take a softer of view of love. The time we take to stop and look at things. The time we take to lick the spoon. The attachments we form with our belongings, especially those which remind us of a time, or place, or person we have loved. The loneliness we feel in the absence of love. One visceral aspect of love that reverberates throughout the exhibition is the joy the artists take in their materials—the elegant lines and rich colors, the luster of the surfaces. For what is creation, if not the ultimate act of love?

Exhibition Dates: Saturday November 3, 2018 - Monday, December 10, 2018. The exhibition is open to the public Thursdays 5pm-8pm and by appointment.
