OPENING RECEPTION
Friday, December 6, 7-10 pm

The New Flesh is an exhibition of new artwork by artists Matt Rebholz and Terra Goolsby. Integrating two- and three-dimensional media such as paper, gouache, ink, cast plastic, and fur, this collection of interdimensional work examines the terrains and forms of speculative fiction. This array of intimate pieces offers encounters with bodily and terrestrial alternatives for an uncertain future. The New Flesh meditates on notions of transfiguration, intracorporeal transit, and planetary departure.
