Next Day installed at MoCA Cleveland Cleveland, OH, for “A Poet*hical Wager,” curated by Andria Hickey. 7 October 2017 – 28 January 2018
“The exhibition is developed through conversations with artists and seems especially timely given the increasingly complex relationship we have with world events that are both affecting and divorced from personal experience. Looking at abstraction as a form of response suggests a different way of working, and a different way of thinking about the affective power of art today.” – Andria Hickey
