Upcoming Exhibition:
Breath: Between Word and Image
September 22 - January 3, 2027
Breath: Between Word and Image pairs eleven visual artists and eleven poets in a series of collaborations exploring how words and images reflect, resonate, and reshape one another. The exhibition features works that move between visual art, poetry, sound, artist books, installation, and image-making. Throughout the gallery, poetry appears as vinyl wall text, artist books, sound, and other spatial forms, allowing language to inhabit the gallery alongside visual art. Together, these works invite visitors to move between reading, looking, listening, and reflecting. Rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and exchange, Breath invites visitors into a space where language and image echo, challenge, and transform one another.
