WHAT FEELS REAL: ART IN THE TIME OF IMPOSSIBLE DISCONNECT
Presented by The Hosting
Curated by Anya Klapischak
Opening May 21 2021- May 22 2021
What Feels Real: Art in the Time of Impossible Disconnect is a collection of singular spirited attempts to address a giant universal discomfort. Confronting the new normal of false realities, virtual commitments, and dumbfounding incongruities, the artists included in this group exhibition take a look at what’s left standing amongst the rubble. We are members of a conversation that aims to question, are we past the point of ever feeling human again? And more importantly- what needs to be addressed before we climb the myriad mountains of healing?
What Feels Real: Art in the Time of Impossible Disconnect is an all-mediums art exhibition presented by The Hosting, in partnership with StudioStudio and York Food & Drink.
What Feels Real is sponsored by our friends at Leon Speakers, Worthwhile Paper, Cloth & Kind, and Caitlin Klein and Joe Malcoun.
