Locations of Elsewhere deals with parallel realities in artists work either in its formal or conceptual qualities. A parallel reality is a state that we are continually in and that we are regularly experiencing. In each year, day or hour we encounter a barrage of contradicting and colliding attitudes, thoughts, sensations, desires, emotions and dreams. This condition is even more heightened for artists as they experience parallel realities as human beings and as artists in the conceptualization and in the creation of their work.

Gallery 1: "Twin Reflections"curated by Leah Oates Artwork by: Brian Getnick and Rob Carter
Twin Reflections deals with shifting realities in artists work either in their formal or conceptual qualities.
Brian Getnick’s "Hog Head Theater" is an oversized pig portrait made from cardboard. When viewed from the opposite direction, the hollow cavern inside the swine's skull creates a miniature scale theater. A small drawing of a potted palm dimly back lit stars center stage. Further pushing into a folkloric state, Getnick creates a site specific drawing that presses the walls of the gallery into the realm of an ancient wooden church in the Carpathian mountains.
Rob Carter's video animation "Four Extracts from Stills" depicts people collapsing into shifting worlds. In Carter's photographic work from "The Fallen Book" and the "Transfer Series", small windows emerge in landscape or architecture that one could fall into much like Alice’s rabbit hole in Wonderland.
