Aptly titled “Our Daily Dread”, the multimedia exhibition references a contemporary domestic space as a dreadful stage amid today’s avalanche of alarming news. The mundane routines of doing daily activities—laundry, cooking, personal maintenance—face off against the presence of the recent pandemic, military conflicts, and climate change.
The exhibition engages the audience with a collaborative conversation amongst five artist friends, offering their daily existential common dreads, questioning the ongoing socio-political rhetoric in juxtaposition with their raw anxiety and outrage in the face of intractable societal ills. In paintings, drawings, sculpture, and video, these artists visualize their struggles within a sunny converted brownstone space of The Bridge & Tunnel Gallery in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights.
