"Placeholder" Opening Reception and Artist Talk
- To
- Adele H. Stamp Student Union
The Stamp Gallery is pleased to present Placeholder, an exhibition dedicated to the proxy, the metaphor, the stand-in. Elliot Doughtie, Richard Hart, Danni O’Brien, and James Williams II contend with the power of materials and images to invoke what is absent, elsewhere, postponed, or in hiding. These four artists test the limits of the alternate, whether by substituting the inert for the living, the imagined for the real, or the partial for the whole. Open October 10 - December 9, 2023.
