Places as a corralling title for a group show at first seems a bit general, somewhat non-descript but maybe it is more like wide-open, or even, vast. Places actually are very particular yet infinite. The artists included in this exhibition all invoke this very specific expanse. We are allowed to take advantage of these artists’ hospitality, which is divergently roomy or cramped, elegiac or concrete, taking us to a fantastical reality or making us uncomfortable and a bit itchy. Traveling through these works we land on very individual doorsteps but are not bound in any way. Man, you’re going places.
