What builds home is difficult to pin down. It is constructed from a combination of various parts: physical and mental space, community, objects, signage, personal relationships, history, culture and familiarity.

This exhibition opens for examination these elements that assemble a home, then explores the various ways people use them to find and make home. Each artist included has a different conceptual focus, but all draw inspiration from a different aspect of home. By gathering these various reflections in one place, this exhibition aims not to build a complete vision of home, but instead to create a space that invites meditation on home as a concept.

Because of the Educational Alliance’s history in assisting immigrants in New York to create a new home here, it is an exciting and fitting space for this show. The Alliance remains a familiar place for many New Yorkers, a temporary home throughout the day in many people’s lives. By including a combination of local and International artists, this exhibition welcomes a global dialogue.

This exhibition includes the work of: Keliy Anderson-Staley, Monica Carrier, Matthew Cowan, Melissa Cowper-Smith, Julie Glauert, Lee Hunter, Elaine Kaufmann, Michal Pashtan, Saul Robbins, Nicole Tschampel.
