This is not an exhibition of the so-called avant-garde. The artists in this exhibition have been brought together to interrogate our faith in progress and its devotees. Why do we favor independence over companionship and connection? Why is the future considered more valuable than the past or present? Who benefits from our acceptance of progress as natural? Rather than move forward, the artists in this exhibition create works that stand still, lie down, turn face, and move in the opposite direction.
This exhibition was supported in part by the RPI HASS Production Grant.
