From MASS Gallery:
‘a crack in the leak’ is a group show based around concepts of permeability, protection, and ooze. Curated by Ariel Wood, the show includes ten artists working in a range of mediums.
Exhibiting Artists: Libby Rosa, Ben Skiba, Owen Tuohy, Luke Johnson, Adam Liam Rose, Tegan Moore, Mac Benson, Melanie McLain, Rachael Griffin, and Ariel Wood.
“A crack is an opening but also a failure of containment, a place where something escapes or where things gather. The artists in this exhibition understand and explore the dual nature of the crack, the both/and of leakiness, the rhyming of water’s overflow of a container and a person’s overflow beyond categories of being just one thing or another: both a child and a parent, both a partner and an individual, both a giver and a taker. An inability to completely control water rhymes with the inability to control or hem in a person’s being, not to mention it brings attention to how hemming in does a disservice to our sense of self’s inherent seeking to expand, spread out, seek support from and among, seep, and permeate aspects of life…”
