Being & Feeling (Alone, Together)

Participating artists: Sachiko Akiyama, Andrew Fish, Lauren Gillette, Katya Grokhovsky, Stephanie Misa, Tobias Rud, Cheryle St. Onge, Riikka Talvitie, and Jon Sakata + Democracy of Sound (exeter)/DOS(e) [Elizabeth Kostina ’20, Gigi Gee ’21, Daisy Newbury ’23, Sophie Turer ’21, Chloe Minicucci ’21].

 

Artists in Being & Feeling (Alone, Together) explore embodiment, emotion, and being: how we make our way through the world, full of feeling, as solitary individuals and together with others. This is not an exhibition on emotions, but rather an experimental platform to contemplate the human condition via themes of longing, memory, regret, hope, ambivalence, and delight. How does it feel to encounter representations both familiar and strange? How do we bring empathic curiosity to our interactions with self and others? The work in Being & Feeling includes portrait sculpture, animation, painting, sound art, video, performance, and photography. The performances, events, and interventions give space for necessary solitude and the opportunity for joyful interconnection.
