1 – September 17, 2010 until October 30, 2010 – “No Borders” presents artists who have a long term relationship with their subjects and who widely used different mediums to break down barriers of neighborhood, family, identity and class. These artists comment on ideas of separateness and merge into or comment on marginalized communities or individuals. Artists often choose to live in marginalized communities out of economic necessity and do not fit within a specific class structure but rather come from every background imaginable. They are drawn to life on the margins as it represents a distancing from the norm and allows for more freedom of thought and action.

“Altered Reality” explores how individuals influence each with their behavior, culture and in doing so how people effect and shape their environment. Recent research has shown that evens those peripherally around an individual shape and change that person’s behavior and habits. Taken on a larger scale, these gestures and beliefs go to construct the society we live in and shape all that is around us. The artists in “Altered Reality” take their focus from a multiplicity of vantage points, and they show the various characteristics and expressions that people put in motion in their creation of the society, of themselves and the settings that they live in.

“Reconstruction Elsewhere” deals with parallel realities in artists work either as a formal presentation or conceptual statement. A parallel reality is the situation where we are constantly.Each day , years, or hour we encounter a barrage of contradictions and colliding attitudes, thoughts, sensations, desires, emotions and dreams. This condition is even more heightened for artists as they experience parallel realities as immigrants. and as artists in the conceptualization and in the creation of their work, exploring the many subtleties and shapes of survival and transformation using all manner of media, from painting to video and performance.
