Featured Artwork: Optic Nerve by Abigail DeVille.
Against the Grain: The Stories We Tell Ourselves is a group exhibition bringing together work from contemporary artists who challenge and explore the complicated nature of record creation in the contexts of both institutional archives and the emotional preservation of memory. The exhibition's artists explore the notions of the body as an archive, the emotional monuments of domestic spaces and inherited history, and how we connect the disparate dots of memories and world events to best fit the narratives of The Stories We Tell Ourselves.
