Friday June 13 2014 - Sunday June 27

The Howard Art Project, 1486 Dorchester Ave, Dorchester MA
this is not not about you

Annie Blazejack and Geddes Levenson, Coe Lapossy, Courtney McClellan, Molly Segal

The five artists of this is not not about you engage a single viewer through painting, sculpture, performance and text. Whether creating for a specific person or a theoretical audience, these artists traverse love, desire and friendship as a process of making. The work addresses the audience by naming, depicting or enticing this narrow viewership. The resulting show engages the audience by providing access to this conversational, insular world. Crossing mythical waters or social media, this work calls out and waits for a response.

Opening Reception:
Friday June 13
7-9 pm / Free
