To Offer/To Leave, aesthetically and thematically inspired by the tales of Shakespeare’s character Ophelia and Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, showcases a moment in time after a decision of withdrawal has been made.
ABOUT.
By interweaving a selection of works from artists such as Daphne Sweet, Lindsay Smith Gustave, Drew Austin, Arthur Williams, Agnes Ma, and Robin Gammons; the exhibition incites a romantic fever dream that honors a shared melancholy. Through the thoughtful inclusion of light, sound, and aromatic sculpture the viewer plays witness to the tale before them within a space contemplation.
