The body is a concept difficult to categorize. Its identity is often too elusive and

expansive for its own skin. The body moves, becomes, and transcends its own figure. Whether we like it or not, the body we inhabit is all we have to experience this world.

For this exhibit, each artist has a simple prompt; to create work that exemplifies what it is like being you, in your own body that is both shaping and shaped by the world. There are a myriad of ways to exist in the world and as such, each artist explores this prompt differently. Some are more literal while others are abstract; some are metaphorical, gestural, conceptual, or material. The artists for this exhibit are deliberately picked by the curators Nykoli Koslow and Jerrod Johnson for the ability to express their own identities and to speak for themselves in their own visual language.

The exhibiting artists are as follows: Audrey Jeřábek, Erich the Maker, CK Ledesma, Cristina Ossers, Aaron Boyd, Ellery Kemner, Nava Waxman, Josh Hintz, Vaughan Larsen, David Najib Kasir, Brian Schneider, Eric Hancock
