Barrier: Curator and Artist Gallery Walk

Join the curators and artists of Barrier during the exhibition’s opening weekend for a gallery tour to get a closer look at the works and the stories behind them. This tour immediately follows a curator and artist talk for Unfinished Verses.

Curated by Kaitlin Pomerantz and Lucia Thomé, Barrier brings together work from 12 artists based in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey that both critiques and reimagines barrier infrastructures designed to separate or enclose, such as gates, fences, windows, and walls. Through mixed media approaches, including sculpture, installation, video, painting, and works on paper, the featured selections engage themes of property and public space, geopolitical volatility, ecology and the built world, materiality, memory, and diaspora.

Pomerantz, Thomé, and several artists will lead a tour of the exhibition and provide insights into their creative process.

Barrier features work by Sandra SK Amoabeng, Matthew Colaizzo, Ghida Dalloul, FORTUNE, Rami George, David L. Johnson, Naomieh Jovin, Zach Ozma, Pallavi Sen, Ivanco Talevski, Kristen Neville Taylor, and Levester Williams.
