4. ENERGY CACHE & THE IMAGINED PROMISE, SEPTEMBER 5TH, 6PM – 9PM | FREE
An Exhibition Opening for Robert Harrington. Using mass-produced objects and ordinary materials reconfigured into an art context, Harrington’s work looks at how we might individualize or personalize things that are inherently not produced to be individual. Through drawings and actualized inventions that imply a function, he explores themes that include the idea of objects’ potential and the concepts of what could be versus what is.
