Description

Power House Memphis is proud to announce our 1st Director’s choice group exhibition, Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere, which features the work of national and international artists Keith O. Anderson (NYC), Dwayne Butcher (Memphis), Brendan Fernandes (NYC), Marie Irmgard (Denmark), Charles Huntley Nelson (Atlanta), Kambui Olujimi (NYC), Joel Parsons (Memphis), Jonathan and Mary Postal (Memphis), Jackson Dingo Ryan (Eugene, OR), and Tam Tran (Memphis). 

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, July 3 from 6 – 8pm and for a lecture by Executive Director, Rehema Barber on Thursday July 16, from 6:30- 7:15.   Also, beginning July 11 and continuing through the run of Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere… our Power Art Labs program will have activities related to the exhibition for children on Saturdays from 10am - Noon at the Power House.

Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere… looks at the oddity of humanity with pieces that border on the bizarre, the compulsive and the beautiful.  Works question labels of race, gender and cultural identity, highlighting the concept of otherness and how it affects our perception of reality. The sense of wandering implied by Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere… is embodied by installations that lie on the fringes of categories like sculpture and painting, but do not quite find a home within these classifications.  Much of the work deals with the negotiation of identity in a world that is complex, mysterious and anything but black and white.

The Power House is open to the public Friday from 12pm to 6pm, Saturday from 10am to 4pm and Sunday from 1pm to 6pm. Admission is FREE for members;$5 for adults and $3 for children.
