From the promotional materials:
“Life on the sea has captivated the collective consciousness of land dwellers—we go there to seek freedom, respite, peace and thrill, to unplug, practice mindfulness and drift into memories of childhood. Yet the water has always been a highly sought after and contested territory, a site of violence, failed experimentation, economic competition, and the unknown. This exhibition pulls from the Artspace Flatfile to explore how artists address these dualities today, constituting a show full of trips, which play out like a deliberately difficult tongue twister.”

Also happening at Artspace concurrently, the exhibition “In Plain Sight/Site,” curated by Niama Safia Sandy, with artists Jocelyn Braxton Armstrong, Kimberly Becoat, Coleman Collins, Adama Delphine Fawundu, Deborah Jack, Nate Lerner, James Montford, Tajh Rust, Tariku Shiferaw, and Maya Vivas.

Artspace New Haven is located at 50 Orange St., New Haven, CT.
