What happens when we meet place —and place meets us back? We are pleased to announce the summer premiere of SPACES OF ENCOUNTER: a research-driven exhibition exploring cultural literacy in the built environment, the ministry of presence, and the biological impacts of space and place on American life. Conceived by public art researcher Danicia M. Malone and guest curated by Alyse Tucker of New York University, the exhibition brings together 21 artifacts and artworks across image, audio, and data from multiple cities in conversation. All trace how place holds us, marks us, and calls us into relation. Produced by Rokh Research & Design Studio. Premiering at Temple Contemporary on May 6 through June 27. The opening reception is on Saturday May 9 at 2pm! RSVP encouraged but free to all. Link in bio! #PublicArt
