Peripheral of the Periphery


Exhibition Dates: August 4th - August 25th, 2017 in Firehouse Gallery, Flower City Arts Center, 713 Monroe Ave, Rochester NY

Reception: Friday August 4th, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. in Firehouse Gallery, Flower City Arts Center, 713 Monroe Ave, Rochester NY

Artist-in-Residency exhibition of Ryana Lawson & Marval A Rex

On view at the Firehouse Gallery are the culminating works of Artists in Residence Ryana Lawson and Marval A Rex. These two bodies of work coexist existentially to interrogate the presupposed Normal. The objects shown here flirt with the peripheries of Reality, and challenge the weak threads that claim a static or solid existence. The artists ask: “How does a thing become a thing--and, how does a thing become no thing?”
