Free and open to the public (No RSVP required)
Although
modern technology appears in only about half of the works, the multiple
readings of this phrase apply to every piece in the exhibition. One
interpretation gleaned from the new work is that social networks, both real and
online, rather than bringing us closer, are in fact eroding our connections
with one another, resulting in isolation, loneliness, and the inability to
exist in the present.
