Please join us this Friday, August 4th, from 6:00 - 9:00 PM for middle ground, an exhibition by Lauren Peterson, hosted at Studio D at the Charles Adams Studio Project.
Peterson's research draws from object-oriented ontology and concepts in new materialism to question shared languages between humans and objects. middle ground is an in-progress found-object installation that questions how art making can be a process for understanding the dispersed immediate presence, complexity, and ultimately unknowable nature of everyday things.
